Fantastic artist who brought my ideas to life in the form of a specially commissioned watercolour painting. The result was a much appreciated gift for my tutor. Johannes is very pleasant and professional in his communication, and I highly recommend JNArt for creating beautiful artwork based on one's vision.

Johannes is a good listener and has a great sense of instinct. He is solution-oriented - and in the end I got a really nice piece of work that I could hand over to a satisfied and happy jubilarian.

The portrait of my dog turned out marvellously, so expressive and vivid, I am really very happy with the result. It exceeded my high expectations.
We had good and smooth communication, and the promised completion date was marginally met.
I have nothing but superlatives as a judgement and can highly recommend JNArt!

An absolutely stunning charcoal painting of five beloved family members.
So incredibly detailed and the resemblance between the painting and the actual dogs is striking. Responsive artist who adapted to the wishes that existed.
Highly recommend JNArt!!!
We asked Johannes to create a painting in connection with a farewell party for two colleagues. It turned out incredible and he really captured both personalities and a lot of details, also within a tight deadline. We are incredibly satisfied and can really recommend Johannes!

What's the process of ordering a handmade portrait?

Day 1 - First contact

You fill in the order form and send an inquiry (not binding in any way).

Day 2 - Agreeing on the project's framework

JNArt will respond to your request to place an order, usually within 24 hours. You will then receive an exact price for the assignment or additional questions will be asked before approving the framework of the assignment. Once you have approved the framework, you agree to pay the complete price upon delivery. Advance payment applies to projects with higher budgets.

Day 7-10 - Your portrait is created

JNArt creates a hand-drawn or painted portrait. Different techniques take different amounts of time but it usually takes 2-4 weeks, sometimes less.

Day 11 - View an image of the finished product, payment

Unless otherwise agreed upon, a copy of the original along with an invoice will be emailed once the portrait is completed. JNArt then awaits payment.

Day 13 - Your portrait is delivered

Once the payment is registered, the painting is packaged and delivered or collected. Delivery time is between 2 to 5 days with Postnord if sent within Sweden. Contact JNArt for information on international deliveries.

Delivery information

How long does it take to order a portrait painting or portrait drawing?

A drawing or painting in watercolour, acrylic or digital medium usually takes 2-4 weeks to create and deliver. Oil painting takes more time.

For an additional cost, it is sometimes possible to create and deliver the artwork in a week. You can always ask if this is possible. 

Sometimes JNArt has a long queue, which unfortunately means that it will take longer to deliver a work. 

How are portraits delivered?

Once the portrait is finished, it is wrapped in plastic and cardboard to protect it during the delivery. So far, JNArt has not experienced any incidents of damaged or lost paintings. 

Postnord, a traceable shipment, is used for the delivery of parcels.

If you live near the Gothenburg area, you can avoid the shipping costs by picking up the artwork. JNArt has its studio in Majorna. 

Advance payment

Once the customer has seen a copy of the finished caricature, the full amount is paid in advance including shipping. The image is sent as soon as the transaction is registered. Shipping costs 100 - 300 SEK depending on the size of the parcel. 

In some cases, trusted customers may be given the opportunity to pay afterwards. This also applies to business customers. 

Choose the techniques / medium for your portrait

Here are examples of the techniques JNArt uses. Watercolour, oil, acrylic, pencil, marker, charcoal, digital or a combination.

Don't hesitate to contact JNArt if you have any questions!

Different formats

You can order paintings and drawings in different formats. The most common formats are A5, A4, A3 or A2. These standard formats are favourable because you can buy the passepartout and frame more cheaply. But the possibilities don't stop there, larger or smaller formats also work, both for paintings and drawings.

Style or genre

Do you want JNArt to take inspiration from any image you find on this page, or any other painting or genre you found on the internet? Then you can attach pictures and describe what you are looking for and JNArt will get back to you if it is possible.

Here are examples of a realistic style. But JNArt can also create with abstract, graphic, naive or experimental and flowing portraits.

Level of detail

The level of detail in a portrait affects the price, as it usually takes longer to create a more detailed portrait. As the client, you have the option to request a level of detail that suits you. JNArt can create anything from sketchy quick portraits to hyper-realistic and photographic ones.

The highest level of detail here is not the most detailed JNArt paints/draws, but rather a level where you get a detailed portrait at a good price. If you would like to order an even more detailed portrait or photographic portrait, you can contact JNArt for pricing information. 

Examples of price

Simple portrait

in pencil, marker or charcoal

These price examples are approximate

Each painting has individual conditions, so JNArt cannot give an exact price until you send your order request and explain what you want to be included in your painting. 

Additions such as another face, detailed clothing or a detailed background will lead to a price increase of about 50-100%.

Describe the person

I will do my very best to ensure that you get a personalised picture. You are welcome to describe the person, and what the relationship looks like between the person in the subject and the person who will get the picture. A vivid description gives me the opportunity to make a beautiful and personalised image.

Framing

The artworks are sent unframed unless this service is requested

 

It is cheaper for the customer to frame the picture themselves or stretch it on a wedge frame. 

For best results, it is recommended to submit the image to a professional framer.

If you order framing from JNArt

Watercolours, drawings and prints are framed with passepartout and a white or black frame.

Acrylic and oil paintings are stretched on wedge frames, like a canvas. JNArt does not currently make more advanced framing than wedge frames.

Framing costs 1500-2500 SEK depending on the type. This includes labour, shipping and cost of material.
