Giveaway!

I'm sorry, this giveaway is now closed.

***

As promised, I'm doing my first giveaway! Your entries for the giveaway will actually become part of my painting for the Church's art contest, so I need a lot! This year's theme is "Remembering the Great Things of God."



WHAT YOU GET

example of the process:

I will be giving away a custom pencil drawing of the subject of the winner's choice (from a photo the winner will provide.) If you want a portrait I will do up to TWO people.

The value depends on what the finished piece will be, but to give you an idea, I typically charge about $50/head for pencil portraits, sometimes more if they are extremely complicated.

The piece will be done on 9 X 12 watercolor paper and will be sent unframed. I normally do the actual image as an 8 X 10 so there is plenty of room to frame it however you'd like (hmmm . . . confessions of a former picture framer . . . )


WHO CAN ENTER

Anyone eighteen or older! If you are not a blogger, please provide an email address I can reach you at if you win. You can either make that part of your comment or email it to me at KristalsBlog @ Yahoo.com (no spaces)** with GIVEAWAY EMAIL as the subject.

3. (Optional, but greatly appreciated) Link to this post on your blog. Make sure you leave a comment with your blog address letting me know if you did this. (for another entry!)
4. (Optional, but - again - greatly appreciated!) Email this post to as many people as you feel comfortable sending this to. Make sure you leave a comment letting me know if you do this. (for yet another entry!)
This would be worth 8 entries!
