Pricing, Sizes & Shipping

At Sophie Eglinton Pet & Wildlife Art, I'm thrilled to offer you a seamless and transparent pricing structure that ensures the highest quality artwork and service. I truly value honesty, especially in today's business environment where transparency can be rare. I believe you deserve to know exactly where your money is going. That's why I strive to be as transparent with you about costs as I would want others to be with me.

Understanding the Pricing:

My pricing is carefully crafted, taking into account various factors to deliver exceptional value to you:

Materials: From premium-grade pencils to archival-quality paper, every component is handpicked to ensure the longevity and vibrancy of your artwork. Each commission causes pencil wear, so the price includes the wear, use and potential replacement of these materials. You can see what I use as my materials here.

Research & Preparation: Each portrait begins with extensive research and meticulous preparation to capture the essence of your beloved pet or wildlife subject. The time spent making digital drafts, making preliminary sketches and/or researching background images and art styles is accounted for in the commission price.

Creation Time: The time required to create a piece varies depending on its size and complexity. However, only the size of the art piece affects the price, as it determines the amount of pencil and time needed to complete the image. If the complexity of the piece increases the creation time, I cover that additional time-cost, not you. The same amount of pencil is needed to cover a given size of the page, regardless of its complexity.

Shipping Safety: Your artwork's safe journey to your doorstep is paramount. I invest in top-quality packaging materials to ensure its safe arrival.

Certificate of Authentication: Rest assured, each artwork comes with a Certificate of Authentication, affirming its genuineness and value as a unique creation by Sophie Eglinton Pet & Wildlife Art.

Shipping Rates: To ensure swift and secure delivery, I exclusively partner with DHL for shipping. The fixed shipping rates are designed to offer you peace of mind throughout the delivery process.

Should you have any questions or wish to embark on your artistic journey with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to turn your vision into a timeless masterpiece.
