WHAT: A Fashion Portrait is a 10-15 minute sketch of YOU, painted with watercolour, as one of Rachael’s Fashion Dolls aka RM Dolls™ or an RM ‘Ken’ ;). Gender, size, or age is never a reason not to get one. Her work is inclusive as she honours your unique character. Heck, she could draw you as a hippo if you wanted to; costume portraits are her favourite!

WHERE: Rachael’s soft pink Parisian inspired studio: 220 3rd Avenue South, Suite 401, take elevator to 4th floor. #YXE

WHEN: Whenever you want, baby! Rachael is there 1pm onward each day. Must book 24 hours in advance, or confirm through e-mail or the form below for last minute drop-bys which are encouraged but not always feasible.

HOW: Contact Rachael here & tell her what you want! She will create an environment suitable for you, a loved one, or your entire family. She will paint you on 8.5x11 cotton rag paper unless you specify a larger size (up to 13x19.) Rachael can also paint you digitally in order to add or remove persons, and print up to 13x19", or can print up to 24x36 by her large format printer in YYC then delivered to you.
WHY: It is important to celebrate your existence, in your favourite outfit; whether you own them or not. Try Pinterest for ideas, or get Rachael to design your own outfit for you, with you, as she paints you! It’s a sustainable way to celebrate fashion without spending oodles of cash. Or, if it’s your wedding, graduation, business, etc, she can illustrate you in honestly anything. Get creative!

PARTY TIME: Rachael hosts intimate parties at her studio as well, with up to 14 guests, you can enjoy a night with your people, and come home with your very own 8.5x11” Fashion Portrait. Rachael will illustrate her windowsill as you sit at a long candle lit table (think wedding style) with a stylish and warm atmosphere, and views of downtown YXE and its heritage buildings. She is able to complete 1 full fashion portrait per 7 minutes. If you’d like a more detailed version, simply book a little extra time. Please fill out form here for your personalized quote.

Available from 1pm -10pm (ish) everyday. Please check the contact page for upcoming LIVE Fashion Portrait events.

IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT TO THE STUDIO…

The following Fashion Portraits were illustrated on her Ipad from photos using the ProCreate app, and printed from her very own studio. She can print up to 13x19 inches, but the standard paper most people commission is a classic 8x10 or 8.5x11 inches. Style differs slightly from her whimsically painted 10 minute Fashion Portraits that you would see at market so in studio. Some of the below took 10 minutes, and some took up to 2-3 hours, depending on the level of detail and number of figures. It also takes time to print, package and mail, so price differs from the classic watercolour portrait. The advantage to the iPad Fashion Portraits are multiple identical copies vs. a scan of the original artwork in a painted piece. All Fashion Portraits are charged per figure, or, per human; props and pets are at an additional fee. Enjoy the gallery!
