{"title":"SJS ART","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy name is Sara and I live in North East Victoria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have loved anything to do with art or craft ever since I was young and wanting Mum to make playdough so I could create something like Humphrey B Bear or getting out the pencils to draw like Mr Squiggle! Yes I know I am showing my age, but this is what I loved as a child. I always loved copying pictures and making them as real as possible. It fascinated me how you can create texture and life using pencil. As I got older the drawing stopped and painting started a little, but I just didn't have the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring Covid I was assisting in being a carer so to help me cope I decided to start drawing again! I noticed some pet portraits on instagram and loved them, so I decided to give that a try by drawing my friends dogs. I enjoyed it so much, but it wasn't just what I got out of it, it was more about the joy it brought the pet owners, not just on receiving the portrait but every time they look at it! So I really do feel I am giving a gift that keeps on giving and that makes me happy!!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI decided from there to start my little business!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo as a self taught artist, what started as something I simply loved doing, has turned into something very special to me and that's the love I bring to every one of my portraits. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pet-portraits-hand-drawn-in-pencil","title":"Pet Portraits Hand drawn in Pencil","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery pet is unique, and I am sure there is something you particularly love about yours!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy hand drawn portraits are created with the aim of you receiving a portrait that is special and that truly feels like your pet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy you will love it;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePets are family, so this is a timeless, personal keepsake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts also a perfect gift for friends or family who love their pet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI put time and attention into every piece so you receive artwork that's beautifully detailed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The process is easy, here's what I will need;                                                   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e             \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e☆ Please provide - A good quality photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis can be sent via email (sjsart@yahoo.com) OR message\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure if I can use your picture because of the quality, please don't hesitate to contact me so I can take a look and let you know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTIPS FOR THE BEST PICTURE;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Natural lighting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Eye level\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease try to avoid taking photos that are over or under exposed, as they do not show enough clear detail eg.the direction of the fur and features such as eyes and nose clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny extra pictures for reference are always a big help!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                               \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemember, the better the photo, the better the end result!!
