1 INITIAL CONSULTATION
In order to arrive at a meaningful and unique work of art initial consultation is of importance and of course free of charge. Your ideas and intensions are most valuable here. These could be virtually about anything, such as the historic background, symbols, style, colour preferences, photos, simple sketches. On basis of this I usually draw a few preliminary sketches in ink and colour, which are sent to you as jpg-pictures via e-mail together with a price estimation.
2 COMMISSION
Once agreed on the visual image, a commission is made to Creative Heraldry, and work starts according to agreed guidelines aiming at the final original artwork.
3 TAILORED ARTWORK
The final artwork is an original painting and a drawing, individually tailored for the client. The techniques, media and format could vary accordingly such as gouache or tempera on vellum, acrylic or oil paint on canvas, wooden board or copper plate, services which are priced individually.
Usually the original work of art is also digitalized as jpg-pictures , sometimes also vectorized when enlargement with preserved sharpness is required.
