Let me tell you about the Contest promotions i do several times a year. The
contest usually last about 4 weeks sometimes 2 weeks. All the contests have
a $10 dollar entry fee. The entry fee weeds out the non-serious people and
holds their spot in the contest like a receipt. When they enter the contest, they
also get a gift certificate emailed to them which are either $50, $100 or $150
dollars in the amounts. They can use the Gift Certificates to apply to a future
order up to 3 years. The Gift Certificates have a shelf life of up to 3 years from
when they received them. The portraits are done in Pastel/Oil Pastel and are
custom framed and matted. I only use top quality materials for my portrait's
paintings. All Portraits are done from the photos/photo you supply.
Photographs must be clear and up-close because I need to see the detail
which captures the persons personality and likeness?
(No Polaroid's) If there are more than one person in
the portrait I can use separate photos and place them in the portrait to make it
look like they were all there together. The portrait in this Blog was done that way.
They were all separate photos so i had to place them in to make look like they
were all together. Names are put in a Contest Box and on the last day of the
one up to 5 names are pulled out and they are the winners. I use my Portrait
Designz YouTube page to do the contest drawing so all the entries can watch.
I will also be doing LIVE portrait drawings on my channel showing how portraits
are done so you can see the process.
How long it takes after you win to get your Portrait is a frequently asked question.
Depending on the size of the portrait and how many winners there are portraits
usually take about 4 to 5 days to complete. 3 to 4 days for shipping. All
deliveries are signature delivery only. Let's me know the portrait arrived on
time and safely.

The Contest
It's time to put something unique and different on your wall in your home. Something you can past down from generation to generation. A talking piece.
Gift Certificate Info

up to 2 gift certificates on an order. That will bring the price down in cash or credit that you
