Watercolor Engagement Portrait
Capture the magic of your engagement or elopement day with a custom watercolor portrait. Each portrait is meticulously hand-painted, ensuring that the essence and emotion of the couple’s special day are beautifully conveyed.
It’s a unique and thoughtful engagement gift for the couple or a personal keepsake.
How It Works:
Refer to the infographic above the listing photos for the process description. You’ll have two opportunities to preview your artwork before it’s shipped to ensure it meets your expectations:
• First, you’ll receive a preliminary sketch to review the outlines of the artwork. This is your chance to request changes (see the “Managing Changes” section below for guidelines on acceptable changes).
• Next, you’ll receive photos of the completed artwork for final approval before shipping.
I only ship if you are happy with the result!
Pricing and what's included:
o see the price for each size, please select BOTH the Size and the Framing / Matting option from the two drop-down menus.
A portrait includes up to TWO people and TWO pets. Additional fees apply for adding more people / pets into the portrait. See section Adding special requests below for details.
Frame selection:
See framing options HERE.
Materials:
- 100% cotton watercolor paper
- professional watercolor
Select 'Artwork only' if you would like to receive just the artwork itself and take care of matting / framing yourself.
Please note, I usually leave a trim of white paper of up to 0.5 in around the painting to make it easier to mount it to the mat. But if you'd like me to cut it off before sending, please request it before the order is shipped. Alternatively, you can cut it off to the desired size with regular scissors.Ordering Matted Artwork
Select 'Single / Double mat - no frame' option, and I will include:
- a Crescent Select 4-Ply Mat. This mat board is crafted from superior 4-ply alpha-cellulose, ensuring robust protection and lasting beauty for your art. Completely acid-free and lignin-free, it guards against yellowing and deterioration, preserving your work for years to come. Mat sizes:
- 2’’ for portraits up to 11 X 14 in
- 3’’ for portraits up to 16 x 20 in
- 4’’ for 18 x 24 portraits
- an acid-free archival backing board (protects the art and makes it easier to mount)
This way it will be fully ready for you to put it in your own frame.

Choose if you’d like regular 2.5mm clear glass or Anti-Reflective Glass. Believe me, Anti-Reflective glass makes a huge difference! Check out the listing photos for a side by side of the two options.
