How it Works
Submit Your Photos
Begin by sending several favorite reference photos. Images with strong lighting and clear expressions often create the most compelling paintings. Kara will help select the reference that best captures the feeling and story you wish to preserve.
Select Your Canvas
When submitting your photos, choose your canvas size and style. You can pick a thinner 5/8" canvas for framing, or a thicker 1” - 2” canvas that doesn’t need a frame. If you choose the thicker option, let Kara know if you want the edges painted or finished with birch wood.
Make a Down Payment
A $100 down payment is required to begin the painting. Payments can be made via Venmo (@karamanzaart) or directly through the website.
Enjoy Your Custom Portrait
Your custom painting will be completed within 2-3 months depending on the season. Kara will provide updates.
