1st Anniversary Gifts - Paper

Celebrate your 1st wedding anniversary with a personalised anniversary gift. The traditional gift for a first year wedding anniversary is 'paper' which makes this caricature ideal as a first wedding anniversary gift.  Our artist will create a black and white caricature of both of you to bring back those happy memories when the knot was tied. All the artist needs is a good photo* to create a 2 person caricature (full body) with background (you can choose the theme or setting for the background).

This anniversary gift caricature is drawn in pencil and oil paints using a dry brush technique on a premium uncoated, bright white 135gsm paper. The caricature includes up to 5 props** / objects per person and with background.

Size of caricature: A3 29.7cm x 42cm

*Photo required:
Recent close ups with big grins are usually the best photos. That should include a current or typical hairstyle. No hats or sunglasses please, If the artist can’t see it, he can't draw it. And please make sure the whole face and head is visible; selfies with crop out bits and pieces are not very helpful as the artist needs to work out the shape of things. It’s also really (really) important that photos are well lit, sharp and clear.

Often even just one photo will do if it's the right one. If you’re not sure, send as many as you want. Please identity who is to be drawn, clearly indicating their name and which one they are in the photograph.

**Props and Large Objects:
A prop is a small object that is included in the drawing to depict the theme or activity that you have chosen. In the case of a wedding anniversary theme, the ‘prop’ could be love hearts, wine glasses etc. Props do not include full larger size objects such as vehicles/cars/trucks/motorbikes etc. These can be added to the caricature at additional costs.

Prices are calculated by the amount of time needed to complete the drawing, so if the object for example, a vehicle, is small and in the background it will be counted as a prop and hence included in the price. If the vehicle is to be larger and proportional to the person/people in the caricature there is an additional $50 charge for black and white caricatures. The same principle applies to animals or pets. If the animal is small (small dog/cat etc.) or it is to be drawn in the background or only drawn partially (head only) it is counted as a prop and included in the price. If it is a larger dog or horse etc. there is an additional $50 charge for the caricature.

Black and white caricatures usually take 7-10 days to complete. Please email if urgent and we will try to assist.
