Sketches of Houses - Graphite Pencil Sketches

Sketches of houses created in a graphite pencil medium are truly sentimental gifts! Graphite pencil sketches display softness and evoke feelings of nostalgia for that place where you feel most welcome...HOME!

Is there a house in your life for which you have fond memories? Perhaps your childhood home, the home where you raised your family or maybe a cozy cottage where you spent your family vacations? Maybe you have wonderful memories of spending the holidays with your extended family at your grandparent's house.

Regrettably, not everyone succeeds in making a house a home. If you are fortunate enough to say that you have a place to turn when times get tough...a special place that you call 'home' ... then consider commemorating your unique and comforting dwelling place with a graphite pencil sketched house portrait.

Using your photos a house portrait in your choice of size will be drawn on Canson acid free smooth bristol board (100 lb.) in a graphite pencil medium.

Photos can be submitted by regular mail or via email. Photos submitted by regular mail will be returned with your order.

***Matting and Framing***

Many customers inquire as to whether we offer matting and framing of our portraits. Although we have offered this additional service in the past we have decided to discontinue this option. Individual tastes vary and it can be very difficult for our staff to choose the perfect mat and frame for each individual customer.

Your portrait is protected with an acid free clear plastic sleeve along with an acid free white backboard. Please know that your completed portrait will present very well in this protective covering.
