In addition to original art works and prints available through this gallery, the following sketch services, based on your photographic image, are available:

For drawings based on a photographic image sent to me via email, or postal services, prices for full size high resolution digital image and/or the original drawing/painting, and/or prints vary based on complexity, style and detail, size, etc, etc. Generally, we could agree on size, price, etc. prior to beginning the project. Upon completion, I'll show you a thumbnail image. If your not satisfied, you have no obligation to purchase anything.


Originals are often done approx. 8.5" x 11" or 10" x 14" on high quality, acid free paper. (Other larger or smaller sizes available.) My pricing for originals is based on; technical merit, uniqueness, size, complexity, and how well the piece fits into my current body of work. Therefore, I may (or may not) reserve the right to not quote a price for the original until the work is completed.

To commission a sketch or painting contact me directly, via email: mak@makart.com
Or, via Postal Services: P.O. Box 2953, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho 83816-2953, U.S.A.

Send your photograph, or digital image and other necessary details, I'll do a sketch and return to you, via email, a thumbnail image of the sketch.

If, on the basis of the thumbnail, you decide not to proceed with a purchase, there will be no charges for the work carried out.

If you wish to purchase the full size image, prints, or original, you must send the appropriate payment at this time. PalPal is convenient. Upon receipt of your payment I will send to you, (via email or download from a private page on this site, or have the image mailed to you on CD ROM for an additional $14.95.) the full size image as a CMYK or JPG file. If you have requested a hardcopy, be it print(s) or original, this will be sent via postal services. I will also return, via postal services, any hardcopy photographs sent to me.

The best photos to use are those that display definite patterns of light and shadow but don't have the detail in the shadow entirely blacked out. Digital images should be of adequate size or resolution to have reasonable detail quality if printed.

The images shown in the gallery are lower resolution to reduce download time.

I reserve the right not to produce a sketch / painting from an image sent to me.

I will take the upmost care to see that any hardcopy photographs sent to me are returned undamaged. However, I cannot guarantee that any photograph I recieve will be returned and will not be damaged.

Unless otherwise agreed, all sketch / painting images produced, by the services offered here, remain the copyright of makART. However, unlimited reproduction rights are granted to the person commissioning the sketch/painting.

All photographic images sent to me will be kept confidential, unless I have the expressed permission (by email or post) of the person or persons owning the rights to the photograph, to display the photographic image.

If any of the sketches shown in Makart's Gallery are based on photographs which are copyright and the owner of that copyright wishes the sketch to be removed from the gallery, please contact me and I will remove the image.
