Portrait sizes & pricing
A pricing guide for common frame sizes is below, but we are happy to adjust to create something special for any budget or size! Each size is priced for a single pet, with an option to add additional pets in the same painting. Multiple pets may require a larger painting size. All that’s required to start is a good reference photo and a 50% deposit. Free delivery to the Crystal Lake IL area, or portraits can be shipped anywhere in the U.S. for an additional fee.
Quotes for any size project are always free and friendly!

What is the commission process for pets, homes, or custom work?
-
Step 1
Pick out a size and style that you like, or we’re happy to help you figure out what would work best! The more high quality photos you can provide, the better. We’re able to combine different aspects from different photos if needed. On most home and pet commissions, a 50% deposit is needed to start.
-
Step 2
Warbler Creative creates your art! We’ll usually give you an estimate of when it will be ready for you to review before starting, most projects are ready within 2 weeks for approval. Projects can be given priority for a quicker deadline as well, just let us know!
-
Step 3
Review your artwork and provide feedback. Let us know if anything needs an adjustment, and we’ll make any possible changes. Watercolor can be more limiting with big changes. Our goal is that you are 100% thrilled with the result!
-
Step 4
Once approved and final payment is made, Warbler Creative then delivers your artwork if local (or securely ships the artwork if necessary). If you want to share, we love seeing photos of our work in its new home!
FAQ
-
We do! Many common items are available. For example — business cards, stickers, decals, postcards, flyers, posters, signage, booklets, brochures, greeting cards, simple packaging, tote bags, mugs, and more! Please reach out with specifics of what you're looking for and we can provide more information.
-
It depends on the situation. We never want to step on another artist’s toes, so we will only update a logo if the original artist is not interested or unable to take on the project. However, a rebrand is always possible!
-
It depends on the project - some designs are easy to create within these programs and we are happy to for you. However, more complex or unique designs may not be possible, or may not end up user friendly to edit.
-
While we don’t have a specific program in place, we definitely are flexible to your needs! This can mean splitting up a payment over time, adjusting a project to fit your budget, or even trading services/products. Please don't hesitate to ask!
-
We’re able to accept various payment types. Most commonly an invoice is sent to you at the end of the project/month that can be paid by check. We also accept Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or can send a payment link via Square. For longer term clients, direct deposit is also possible.
-
No! The only time stock may be used is for supplemental photography, and with your request/permission. All designs and illustrations are created from scratch, often starting with pencil and paper. We think this produces the highest quality work, original to you.
-
First, let us know what you have in mind! We can chat via email, phone call, or virtual meeting. If you're unsure on specifics, we can help guide you. Once we're on the same page and any needed deposits are paid, Warbler Creative will get to work! We'll then present for approval and ask for any needed adjustments. When everyone is happy with the result and final payment is made, we'll provide all digital files or physical artwork. It's easy!
