COLOURED PENCIL PORTRAITS
Hyperrealistic coloured pencil portraits with a refined, minimalist finish
NEW for 2026
Coloured pencils have been around for decades, but only recently have the quality and lightfast qualities really challenged the other mediums that Artists work with. These pencils are extremely lightfast to ensure longevity in all my pieces.
Every Coloured Pencil Portrait is on a semi opaque drafting film with a white card anchored on the back. **There are no other colour choices for background with this medium. **

THE PROCESS
Step 1: Get in touch with the artist @ kris.cres@gmail.com
Step 2: Find 1-3 reference photos of the pet you'd like to have done. Please visit the FAQS page for photo examples.
Step 3: Getting a Deposit. Wait for an email back (within 1 business day) with any additional questions the artist may have regarding the photo quality or requesting more photos. At this time Kris will invoice you with your preferred method of payment (e-transfer, PayPal or Square)
Step 4: Once the deposit is received you are booked in and the artist will confirm the completion date with you. If you are requesting it for a specific date, please let the artist know ahead of time and she will try her best to accommodate.
Step 5: Before starting, Kris will touch base with the email you provided to confirm the photo selection.
Step 6: Once completed you will receive finished photos of your portrait and request a shipping address if you cannot pick up (near Vancouver ,BC, Canada).
Shipping is extra (please contact for quote)
Completion times vary depending on the time of year (avg 3-6 months)
