Hello,
Thank you for learning more about my Process of creating Custom Paintings and looking at my Gallery of Artworks.
I am a Seattle Artist creating original hand-drawn paintings, as well as digital artworks for private and commercial Clients. I work in a variety of styles, mediums and techniques to help you bring your vision to life.
Process
4.
ARTWORK CREATION
After the Digital sketch is approved and the Artwork deposit is paid, the actual painting begins! On average, it takes about 1 - 7 days to create an artwork (it all depends on the size and the level of detail). Once the Artwork is created, I will send you images of the final artwork for your review and approval, and make final edits if needed.
5.
DELIVERY
Once the artwork is finalized, it will be delivered to you within 14 - 21 days, or sooner, but a rush delivery charge may apply. If you live in Greater Seattle area, I may personally deliver the artwork to you.
6.
SATISFACTION
I am committed to making the entire process so smooth and the artwork so awesome that you will be excited to tell everyone you know!
1.
CONVERSATION
Tell me all about your vision (please send me description of what you have in mind, your desired artwork size, and image ideas illustrating the desired style and color palette.
2.
PROJECT PROPOSAL
Based on the details gathered, I'll send you a written agreement outlining project description, timing, and cost for you to review and sign, if you accept.
3.
DIGITAL DESIGN
Every artwork that I create for my Clients, I design electronically first so that you can preview what the final artwork will look like and tell me if it needs any edits. I will create a digital sketch of the artwork for you, once the Design fee has been paid, as outlined in the Project proposal.

Tamara was absolutely wonderful to work with. She captured exactly what I had envisioned and was very accommodating of my recommendations and ideas. The final version that she sent was absolutely beautiful with great attention to detail. I’d recommend Tamara to anyone!

Tamara was so incredibly easy to work with. She always responded quickly to our emails and even hand delivered our piece when the Covid pandemic caused a delay in shipping. We highly recommend her!

Tamara most impressively was a very responsive business person in addition to providing what I was looking for on a collaborative project. She contacted me withing several hours of posting my request. Other took days or weeks to get back to me. She provided her artistic interpretation of my idea. All in all a great experience.

Digitally Created Artworks
Printed on canvas
Sometimes, it makes more sense to design the artwork digitally and print it on a stretched canvas or on a canvas roll (which is a more portable option). This allows me to bring my Client's vision to life in a less costly manner (hand-painted artwork costs about twice as much as an artwork created digitally and printed on canvas). This way, my Clients still receive the quality of my painting skills and brush strokes (I draw on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pen) and the canvas print quality is absolutely fantastic!
Stretched Canvas Print
This option is great, if you want the artwork to be ready for hanging on a wall.
Stretched canvas print will be delivered to you in a box, and it will be stretched on a wooden frame, ready for hanging.
Canvas Print in a roll
This is an excellent option if you desire the artwork to be easily portable, because it can be just rolled up and placed in a tube. It's up to you how to hang or install the canvas (it can be stretched between plexiglass panels or stretched on a frame).
Canvas will be delivered to you in a roll, it will not be stretched on a wood frame.

Live painting event with Tamara Hergert! She created a Game of Thrones themed painting in just 2 hours at "The Round" in Seattle!
Fremont Art Center in Seattle was home to a wildly popular Art show event, Chocolate & Art Show of Seattle, with 1.3K people in attendance. I was one of the few lucky artists showcasing my paintings. Some people told me that I won the event, as "The Heroic Masterpiece" painting was the most photographed, and "selfied" piece at the event.
With Chocolate fountain, live music, and lots and lost of people who came to see the art show, the event was a blast!
