About the illustration
Your Illustration will be hand drawn black & white sketch of the property, not a computer generated image, so we can add/remove things you don’t want eg: cars or lamp posts, and we won't include dustbins, satellite dishes etc. We will sketch the view from the photograph (ie the same perspective). It’s a simplified drawing of the house but if you want more detail we also offer a ‘Detailed portrait’ version. The drawing will be portrait or landscape that best suits the image. Although the house will be in black & white we colour the sky duck-egg blue, the grass a sage green, paths stone or grey and windows cream. Bright paintwork such as front doors or painted concrete will also coloured.
If you've asked for a digital proof, your illustration will be uploaded via a customer enquiry for you to check.
Made from:
Handrawn illustration coloured on the computer for lovely solid lines and digitally printed in a graphic, contemporary style with offset block colours on 200gsm acid free, fine grain artists paper.
Framing

These larger frames are glazed with perspex for safe delivery. We use a high grade Quinn Perspex with perfect optical qualities (so it looks completely clear) and are UV stabilised (so they won't discolour over time).

We received one of these pictures of our reception venue as a wedding gift. We loved it so much I have now purchased one of our church as well as an anniversary gift for my husband. So excited to see them side by side. Both stunning

I submitted a photograph I had taken Venice. It was a very special moment that the picture represented however the picture wasn't perfect. I delt with a lady called Lucy over email in regards to changing certain details in the picture. Lucy was fantastic!! She took on board all my requests, kept me informed during the whole procrss and then in just 2 days had produced and delierved the most amazing momento of a very special time for me. My expectation were exceed by a mile!! A great way to turn a photo in a beautiful piece of art that I would and will be recommending to everyone.
