Dry Pastels

Transform your photo into a long-lasting memory

A dry pastel portrait is a wonderful gift for any occasion. This art technique has been used since ancient times.

Portraits made using the dry pastel technique are created on high-quality paper from reputable manufacturers like “Canson”. I usually work with pastel brands such as “Rembrandt,” “Faber-Castell,” and “Otello.” The artwork created using this technique is durable and long-lasting, similar to oil paintings. However, unlike oil paintings, dry pastel portraits need to be framed with glass or plexiglass.

Delivery time

The delivery time for the portraits may vary depending on the number of orders I have at any given time, but I always try to fulfill my client’s needs. If you let me know when you need the portrait, I will be able to provide you with an estimate of when your portrait will be completed. Typically, it takes between 15 to 30 days to complete a portrait.

Photo Requirements

High-resolution, crisp, and clear photographs are essential for creating portraits. Even though digital format is preferable, a physical copy can be scanned at the highest resolution and quality and saved as a . jpg file.

Please email the picture to dcvetkovic01@gmail.com as soon as it’s ready. When I create portraits, I usually work with a simple shadow background, but we can work together to fulfill any specific requests you may have. Recall that getting the best possible portrait depends on the photo’s quality.

You can mail your high-resolution printed photos to my address if you can’t scan them. I’ll scan them and return them to you with the completed portrait.

Combine multiple images into a group portrait

If you don’t have a joint photo of your family, friends, parents, or pet, you can send me individual photos of each person or pet. I will merge photos and combine people from different images into a group painting.  Merging different photos is not a problem for me, as I have done it many times before. You can see examples of compilation portraits in my gallery. The photos must be clear, sharp, and in good resolution. If you want to make someone happy with a merged portrait, but you do not have any photos of them together, we can work out the arrangement of the faces in the picture. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I am happy to assist with any concerns.
