Tell me more about your paintings?
That's better. I appreciate your interest very much! I approach every painting differently. I work very hard to make sure that the end result is a unique, one of a kind masterpiece that you can be proud to show off to your friends and family. I also use high quality canvas and paints, which ensures that your portrait will last for many years to come.
How does the whole process work?
First, You send me (several) digital photographs, Then I send you back a sample of how the painting will look via email. After you approve the sample, the painting process will be started on the canvas size of your choice.
How do I pay?
If you would like to purchase a painting, please contact me at dann [at] dannstockton [dot] com, call me at 303.304.9186 or send me a message through the Contact page. We can discuss the details of the painting. I will then send you an invoice for half the amount of the total through email. Payment is easy and secure through Google Checkout using any major credit card. (If you would like to learn more about Google Checkout, click here)
Once payment is received and the sample is approved, I'll begin work. Once I am finished, I'll send one more invoice for the remainder. Upon approval of the painting and payment of the invoice, your painting will be shipped (free).
How long does shipping take?
Usually I can finish a painting in a few weeks, and shipping takes 2-6 days depending on the canvas size and your location.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is absolutely free! Alternatively, you could think of it as a free painting with really expensive shipping.
Do you only paint black and white? Can you do color if I ask really nicely?
You can pick any two colors to better match your decor if needed. I personally think black and white fits almost any setup, but I will be glad to paint with any two colors at no extra cost.
How much does this cost?
Check out the Pricing page for pricing details.
Do you ship outside of the U.S.?
Unfortunately not.
What if I don't like the painting?
After I am done painting, and I send you a photo of the painting, if you see anything that needs to be changed, I will fix it to your satisfaction before shipping. Also, if you recieve the painting and are not completely satisfied, just ship it back, and I will give you a 100% refund (including your cost for shipping). It means that there is absolutely NO RISK for you!
How do I send you pictures?
Just email pictures to dann [at] dannstockton [dot] com. If you have multiple pictures, you could think about zipping them into one file for your convenience (if you know how). The most important thing to remember is that the higher quality the photograph, the better.
Can you combine multiple images?
If the images you send me are high enough quality, usually I won't have a problem combining them. A mock up will be sent to you for approval before the painting process is started.
Can you do a portrait of my pet?
Absolutely! The process is exactly the same.
Your paintings are incredible! How do you do it?!
Thanks for the compliment! First, I sketch out a basic outline using a pencil on a canvas based on your photo, and then using your photos as a reference point, I paint the portrait and hope that it works out! Additionally I use black magic and voodoo. (kidding)
