Commissioned & Original Portraits
Hand Painted by Jess Kristen | PNW Based Portrait Artist & Pet Photographer
Commission paintings are available in 4 mediums.
Digital Folk Art - Loosely inspired by my Ukrainian and Norwegian heritage, these images are digitally painted by hand using multiple layers and brushes in Procreate. They are not AI or artificially generated in any way. Every line is hand placed and ever color is hand selected. The digital file you receive may be printed up to 8×10 in size. If you would like a larger wall piece, they may be ordered from the Gallery Store. Each Digital Folk Art painting takes roughly 5 hours to create and are ready to send once complete.
Acrylic Painting - These paintings are created on stretched canvas and naturally will be more expressive in their brushwork and color selection. They are created using Golden Acrylics and every painting is primed, signed and sealed with a Satin Varnish for protection. Acrylic paintings can be mounted in a simple black metal float frame ready for handing for an additional fee $50 fee. These paintings take anywhere from 6-10 hours to create and are ready to send within 5 days of completion due to the sealing process.
Watercolor Painting - Created using 300# Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper and a combination of Daniel Smith, Aquarelle and Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors. They will arrive in a plastic sleeve ready for framing or may be mounted in a protective frame ready for hanging for an additional $70. These paintings take anywhere from 3-10 hours to create and are ready to send within 3 days of completion due to the pressing process.
Oil Painting - Painted on Gessobord using Winsor & Newton Oil paints. All oil paintings will arrive in a simple black metal float frame automatically. They will take 8-16 hours to complete and an additional 14-30 days to fully set and dry. Once dried they will be sealed which take an additional 30 days to fully cure before being mailed out. Expect anywhere from 3-6 months to completion for Oil Paintings before being ready to be shipped.
