Eternalize your bridal shoe fashion on paper! Holly will sketch/paint a high fashion illustration of the bridal shoe using acrylic paints, inks, markers, graphite, and crystals (if applicable to the shoe) on toned mixed media paper. White Bristol is also available on request. Holly recommends opting with the toned mixed media paper as it better represents white and ivory shoes. Please note, Holly uses the photo of the shoes as a reference and will reimagine it as a couture sketch. Custom illustrations are not photo replicas, rather, couture sketches that emphasis the fashion of the shoe.

Details:

Art is available or unframed or framed. Framing will be billed after purchase of this listing, if framing is desired. Please note, framing takes an additional 2-3 weeks after completion of art.

Art is available on your choice of Toned Mixed Media paper (recommended for white or ivory shoes), or White Bristol Paper (recommended for shoes that feature color). Pricing is the same for both options.
