Hand Lettering<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

I hand letter with watercolors with or without accompanying illustrations. I can paint quotes, birthdates and birth stats, Bible verses, poems, and names, among other requests. Contact me at Danae@DanaeLukis.com to discuss ideas and get pricing details. <\/span><\/p>\n

Portraits<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

I work primarily from photographs and can incorporate your additional preferences. I use<\/span> 140lb cold pressed watercolor paper with lightfast watercolor paints. I also work in graphite or charcoal if requested.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re interested in commissioning a portrait, send an e-mail to Danae@DanaeLukis.com and include:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Size of the painting<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0A digital photograph attached to an e-mail, highest resolution possible, or send a link to a web album. If you don’t have a digital copy, you can mail a photocopy (or original) or get a good quality scan of the photograph to send via e-mail.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Anything you specifically like or dislike about the photograph (or general preferences to keep in mind for the painting)<\/p>\n

Selecting a photograph for the painting<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pictures taken with natural light work well for paintings. If possible, take pictures outdoors or near natural light to avoid using a flash. However, if you have a favorite picture that was taken with a flash, I can definitely still use it for a painting. It’s also helpful, but not necessary, to send additional photographs of the subject(s) so that I can get as much visual information as possible. If you are unsure about choosing a photograph, feel free to send a few, and I can help you choose.<\/p>\n
