A custom portrait, made to last a lifetime, that captures the essence of you or your loved ones. Features an acrylic painting on canvas personalized by your photo and story.

PROCESS:
1. Place your order and describe what you’re looking for in the personalization section.
2. Send me the reference image via “message seller” button.
3. After we communicate the idea, I’ll send you a rough draft and ensure you’re satisfied before starting the portrait.
4. As I’m painting I’ll send progress photos and then a photo of the final result for your approval.
5. Once it’s done I’ll securely package the art and ship it to you :)

DIGITAL FILE
I’ll send a png file of the portrait via email. I won’t be taking revisions, if purchased; I’ll simply refine small details.
NOTE:
-Please refrain from posting the high resolution file I send to you on social media. I would like to minimize the risk of my art being stolen by art thieves or for use in AI models. I will send a low-resolution, watermarked copy which I’d appreciate to be posted (should you wish to do so). You are very welcome to share a picture of the canvas
REFERENCE IMAGE
-Send me the photo/s you would like me to use in message or email artbyeternaly@gmail.com. Please provide a good quality reference photo in color.
-I can edit together several photos to use as a reference image for orders with mutiple subjects and/or add-ons.
-Feel free to send me extra photos of whoever I’m painting and tell me a little about them. I’d like to capture the memory of them, not just copy the photo :)
MATERIALS
I use acrylic paint on canvas primed with gesso. The surface is smooth with minimal texture. I use a satin varnish on top; paintings have a little sheen without an overly glossy finish.
TIMELINE
-The estimated completion time ranges from 1-3 weeks. This varies depending on the size of the canvas, speed of communication, and if I’m working on other commissions.
REVISIONS
-A few major changes are allowed in the rough draft while we’re communicating the idea. I won’t begin painting until it’s approved.
-A few minor changes are allowed while I’m painting the portrait. I’ll send a photo before varnishing for final approval.
-No changes once the painting is varnished.
GIFT
-Be sure to order in advance to ensure it arrives on time.
-If this is to be sent directly to the gift recipient, let me know if you don’t want the receipt included in the package. Also, please ensure the address you place the order with is the address you intend the portrait to be sent to.
REFUND
-Full refund if you cancel your order before I begin or if I cancel your order because I’m unable to reach you within 7 days BEFORE I start the rough draft.
-No full refund once I begin the rough draft.
-If I’m unable to start or complete your commission, you will receive a full or partial refund depending on the reason.
-If not a full refund, the amount refunded is based on how long I have worked on the piece.
- If, for whatever reason, I don’t hear from you once I finish the artwork, I’ll varnish it and ship it just before the ship-by date.
- I accept cancellations within 1 hour of purchasing and also if you request me to cancel your order before I begin.
-I do not accept returns or exchanges as this is a custom item.
-If received damaged, refer to the damages section

Art by Eternaly
Meet the Maker
Hi! I’m Eternaly (Aly).
I’m an artist preserving memories through colorful art and the creator of Art by Eternaly.
Since my early years, my eyes would light up when making visions into something tangible. Art has always been a sanctuary for me—a place where my imagination runs free.
From digital drawings to traditional paintings, each work is crafted with quality and care. I love capturing moments big and small in a unique, painterly style. My mission is to create timeless pieces that remind us of fond moments.

How it’s Made
I use acrylic paint on canvas primed with gesso. The surface is smooth with minimal texture. I use a satin varnish on top; paintings have a little sheen without an overly glossy finish.

KEYCHAINS, PINS, MAGNETS, ORNAMENTS:
- Avoid exposing to harsh conditions.
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Keep these items away from prolonged direct sunlight or high heat.
- To reduce the appearance of scratches, polish with wax or apply a thin coat of uv resin.
STICKERS:

PACKAGING
- Discreet Packaging Each package comes with a small sticker of my sheep character and doodles on the outside. If you would prefer discreet packaging with no branding, let me know in the "Note to Seller" section during checkout.
- Paintings I take great care when packaging canvases to ensure they arrive safely. Each piece is wrapped in glassine paper to protect the painted surface. It is then wrapped in minimal bubble wrap (to reduce waste) and honeycomb kraft wrap to keep it protected.
All items are placed in a sturdy box and finally inside of a biodegradable polybag (to prevent weather damage) with fragile label stickers.
