Something personal perfect for parents & babes, pet portraits, wedding keepsakes, baby & sibling portraits and mementos of loved ones passed.
One of a kind, custom watercolour artworks meticulously painted. Layers are built up over hours and hours achieving a hyper realism portrait. The result captures the original reference photo or subject with the painterly, light qualities only watercolour can achieve.
All portraits are painted on A3 or A4 300GSM or 600GSM, quality cotton, cold-pressed, German watercolour paper. (Larger sizes are available)
Archival art prints can be created and purchased of your portrait. These can be sent digitally or as a hard copy, printed up to size A2- great to share with friends and family.
Full payment is required at the time of booking or two weeks out of commencement date.
HOW TO ORDER
Before the magic begins, please message me via the contact us link, socials or email to discuss reference imagery and for an accurate waitlist time. Please note, high quality imagery makes for the best detailed results. Once we have locked in your reference choice I can advise the best size and paper option. We can also discuss backgrounds and finishes to best compliment your subjects. You will receive a digital mock up of your composition to approve once we're both happy with the finer details.
Depending on your position in the queue your work will generally commence 1-2 weeks from payment. An approximate timeframe will be advised by email.
You will receive an initial graphite sketch to approve before painting commences. Once final painting is complete, I'll be in touch with all postage/delivery details. I'm available to help through the whole process, from choosing imagery to the perfect framing options. Questions welcomed.

Postage
Your portrait will be packaged with great care. Paintings are protected by a BOPP plastic sleeve, additional card and posted in a flat, rigid envelope.
If for any reason your painting is damaged in transit despite the protective packaging please contact Portraits By Hayley immediately. Detailed images of the damage must be provided. Portraits By Hayley will also launch an investigation with Australia Post. If we are satisfied the damage has been caused by Australia Post I will complete a new portrait at no extra cost. Refunds however will not be issued for damage or loss in transit. Time taken for new paintings in this instance will commence ASAP but please expect a similar turn around to your original work.
Pricing & Refunds
All prices are listed in Australian dollars and include standard registered post within Australia. If you are enquiring outside of Australia please contact before purchasing.
Portraits By Hayley reserves the right to update prices at any point. However, once your payment has been received that price is reserved until work is completed or for 12 months.
I do not reserve portraits for later dates. If for any reason you are unable to proceed with your painting after the first 48 hours of payment being received you are entitled to a full refund. After this period only a partial refund will be offered. No refund is offered once painting has commenced.
