Wilmar Schütz is best known for their restrained yet honest architectural watercolour portraits where colours are sourced from nature. We combine our architectural experience with specialist watercolour skills to produce stunning portraits for period and historic buildings. Each portrait is beautifully set-up and divinely unique and goes through three easy stages; Detail, Design and Delivery
All portraits are hand-drawn 30 x 23 (inches) and come beautifully packaged and delivered un-framed. Your portrait will encapsulate the ground floor plan and front elevation with correct architectural detailing and unique calligraphy with your building name. Each portrait carries the Wilmar Schütz hallmark of exceptional attention to detail and artistry. Our portrait process has three easy stages See below.
Detail - 1
The Detail stage starts with a quotation. This requires a plan of your building, brief history of the property and a digital image that shows external detail.
From the information we receive, we are then able to prepare a written quotation that also estimates packaging, shipping and insurance and expected delivery date. However, before we can start your portrait, our quotation needs to be approved and a 50% starting deposit received. Our portrait process has three easy stages; Detail Design and Delivery
At all times, information remains strictly confidential.
Design - 2
The Design stage is important because this establishes your existing conditions. Your plan and elevation are hand-drawn and developed on loose A3 sheets at 1:100 scale. These form shadow analysis and tonal studies that are presented to you. At the end of this stage, the balance of fee must be paid.
Once the studies are presented, the plan and elevation are re-drawn onto final watercolour board for finished artwork. Unique calligraphy with your building name is inscribed and our Wilmar Schütz registration of colours and details are recorded on the back of the artwork.
Delivery - 3
The Delivery stage signifies that your portrait artwork is complete and paid for including packaging, shipping and insurance. However, just to be sure, we re-confirm your delivery details. If you require your artwork professionally photographed and digital files exchanged, please let us know. Additional fees apply.
Your artwork is then professionally packaged and sealed and sent to your delivery address with digital tracking details exchanged. A customer feedback form and Wilmar Schütz letter of authentication is included.
