What makes a great reference photo

  • The original file from your phone or camera. Screenshots and social media downloads lose detail.
  • Sharp and in focus on the subject’s face and the gear.
  • Good light. Bright daylight beats a dim indoor shot.
  • The subject fills a good part of the frame, not a speck in the distance.
  • Up to 3 photos of the same moment help Kristi pick the best one.

Custom painting questions

Anything else? Kristi is happy to help.

Giving it as a gift?

When am I charged?

A 50% deposit is charged when you send your request. The balance, plus any shipping outside the contiguous US, is due when your painting is finished and before it ships. Kristi will email you a secure payment link.

What if my photo won’t work?

Kristi reviews every photo before she starts. If she needs a better one, she’ll contact you, and a quick reply keeps your place in the queue. If she can’t work from any of your photos, she’ll refund your deposit in full.

What if I need to cancel?

Once Kristi starts painting, the deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel at completion of the painting, a late cancellation fee of 25% of the painting price also applies.

How long does it take?

About 8 business days for 8 × 10 to 11 × 14, and 14 to 16 business days for 20 × 20 and up, counted from when Kristi starts your painting.

Will it look exactly like my photo?

It’s a hand-painted original in Kristi’s style, so expect it to capture the moment rather than copy every pixel. You’ll get a preview photo before it ships.

Is it framed?

No. It’s painted on gallery-wrapped canvas, which is wrapped around a wooden frame, so the edges are finished and it’s ready to hang as is.

Who owns the copyright?

Kristi keeps the copyright, including reproduction rights. The painting is yours to hang and enjoy.
