FAQ

Everything people ask me before ordering a keepsake portrait. Can't find it here? Email hello@reneechinart.com.

How much does a portrait cost?

1–2 faces is $89. 3–5 faces (families, groups, kids, pets) is $119. Pets count as faces. A Polaroid keepsake add-on is +$10.

What's the postage?

NZ post is a flat $9, tracked. International isn't open yet — join the email list to hear when it is.

How long will my portrait take?

Ships in 3–5 working days from when I get clear photos.

What does the artwork actually look like?

Hand-drawn in ink and colour, on 12 x 16.5 cm watercolour paper (270–300gsm), signed with your names and the date.

What photos do you need from me?

Up to 3 photos of the moment you want drawn. Clear faces, good light, works best. There's one optional "Anything else?" box for names, a short message, or notes on your photos — I'll hand-write any names or message on a little card that comes with your portrait.

Do I get to see it before it's posted?

Yes — I email you a photo of your finished portrait before I post it, so you can check for any big mistake (wrong person, missing detail). There are no small tweaks. Happy to skip it? Just say so by email.

What if something's actually wrong, or it arrives damaged?

A clear mistake (wrong person, missing detail) is fixed free. If it's damaged or lost in the post, email me within 7 days of delivery with a photo and I'll redraw and resend it, or refund you in full.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, within a short window before I start drawing — see the full cancellation policy.

Can I order this as a gift?

Of course. Just pop the recipient's details in at order time, and let me know it's a gift — I'm happy to leave the price off and add a little note if you'd like.

Will you post my photo or my portrait online?

I never post your real photos. If you tick the optional box, I may share your finished drawing and the drawing video on my own channels — I show you first, and you can say no or ask me to take it down at any time.

What happens to my photos afterwards?

I only use them to draw your portrait, and I delete them 30 days after you approve it.

Still have a question?

Email hello@reneechinart.com — I check it twice a day. For the full detail on all of the above, see Policies + Love It Promise.
