The process begins with your photos.  If you have digital images you can email them to  anne@annesteinman.com.  If not you can send  them by traditional mail.  It would be helpful to include a few good close-up photos of your subject/s taken from different angles.  I will select one to draw from and use others as reference for unique features. The clearer the image, the less guesswork I'll have to do, and you’ll have a much finer portrait. For best results take photos at same level as your subject and click on this link for additional pet photo taking tips.  Your photos will be returned to you with your portrait.

Next, I would like to find out what your preferences are.   We will go over  your options, such as your choice of medium, (acrylic, watercolor, pastel, pen and ink, colored pencils, graphite pencil, mixed-media) size of portrait, color, and background preference.   For pet portraits, it's helpful to let me know the specific breed, special markings, favorite activities, and any pertinent information that would make it easier for me to capture the animal's unique personality.
