3. Contact me

E-mail me at hello@artofilonat.com. Please include the following:

  • your reference photo(s)
  • the portrait type & size
  • any other relevant information (such as the desired background for your portrait, a required completion date or if it’s a surprise gift)
  • the country you’re from (so I can give you a correct shipping quote)

Or you can send me a booking request via the contact form and I will get back to you ASAP.

4. Book your slot

Once all the details have been cleared, I will send you a PayPal invoice for a 25% deposit (refundable for 7 days after booking). When the deposit has been paid, I will book your slot in my commission calendar.

The Drawing Process

Once your portrait is booked in, you can sit back and relax. I will notify you just before I start working on your portrait.

Stage 1: Follow Your Portrait’s Progress

Once I’ve started to work on your portrait, keep an eye on my Instagram and Facebook pages where you can watch your portrait come to life, all the way from the initial trace lines to the finished portrait. If your commission is a surprise gift I am happy send the progress photos directly to your inbox and hold off on posting them on my own social media accounts until the portrait has been gifted.

Stage 2: Give Your Approval

When I think the portrait is finished, I will send you one more photo for your approval. I am happy to make small tweaks to your portrait until you’re 100% happy with it, at no extra cost. Please note that significant alterations, such as adding a detailed background, can only be done with an additional cost that will be added to the final invoice.

Stage 3: Completion

After you have given your approval, I will send you the final PayPal invoice for the remaining balance plus secure shipping. Your portrait will be carefully packaged and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a care guide. Once the balance as been paid in full, I will ship your portrait with FedEx and send you the tracking number so that you can follow its journey to you. My Icelandic customers are of course welcome to pick up their portraits from me in person.
