Paint Your Own House Portrait Kit

Price range: $75.00 through $245.00

The Details

Want to paint your own portrait of your home?  I will create a custom sketch of your home based on a photo that you provide and send it to you along with all the supplies you’ll need to complete the portrait yourself.

Inside the kit, you’ll find a graphite sketch of your home on 100% cotton fine art paper mounted on a light-weight painting support panel, accompanied by a color reference sheet, archival quality watercolor dot cards, reference image and a premium brush. This kit allows you to unleash your creativity and celebrate the place you call home in a truly personalized way. These kits also make great gifts!

Want to add pets to your sketch? I offer a kit that includes up to two pets. Check it out here.

Standard commissions are 8 x 10 inches unframed. Note that a 5×7 with mat will fit an 8×10 frame and an 8×10 piece will fit an 11×14 frame.

Here’s how it works: Simply purchase the kit online, and then email me at pennypinestudio@gmail.com with an image of your house. Please include the address of the house and let me know if the portrait is for a special occasion such as a birthday, housewarming, anniversary, or Christmas. If it is, kindly provide the deadline for completing the piece. The deadline must be at least 3 weeks from the date of purchase.

Please include the following details in your email:

  • Items that MUST be included in the painting
  • Items that you would like removed. While I always edit out obviously unsightly items, feel free to specify any additional objects or elements you would like to be removed from the final artwork
  • Any edits you’d like that are not reflected in the reference image
  • The color of details of the home such as doors, shutters, etc. if they are not clearly visible in the photo
  • Whether you want the painting in vertical or horizontal orientation (most renderings will be horizontal, but for some, vertical is best)
  • Any hand lettering you would like added

Once I receive your email, I will personally respond, confirming the receipt of your email, images, and information. Additionally, I will provide you with an estimated date the kit will be ready, as well as a date when work on the kit will begin.

Please note that returns and exchanges are not accepted for custom pieces. Refunds will not be approved after I have begun work on your kit.
