FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you charge for custom portraits?
The prices of custom portraits vary based on the style, medium and the package or level of detail ordered. Find the style that resonates with you the most and request a custom quotation.
What sizes or styles do you offer?
Portraits are available in sizes starting at 4 x 6 inches to 11 x 14 inches. Mediums used includes charcoal, graphite pencils, alcohol markers and pencil crayons. If you have a specific style in mind feel free to stipulate it in our quotation form.
Do you draw couples, families or pets?
Maunamars creates drawings and paintings covering a wide variety of subjects including couples, families, and places. However, while Maunamars specializes in people portraits – commissions that include pets are welcomed as long as a portrait of a human is a part of the request. Pets and detailed scenic places require more time and materials, so these may be subject to higher commission rates.
Do you ship internationally?
Shipping internationally is currently unavailable. Stay tuned for further updates as our world expands. Local deliveries and pickups can be arranged.
