What, How & Why: A Closer Look - Featuring Rachel Rainey

At iPrintfromHome.com, we work with artists and photographers from across the United States and Canada. We're inspired everyday by the images that they send to us and by the stories they share.
In our "What, How & Why" interview series, we take a closer look at some of these fascinating people.

We've asked each participating artist or photographer three simple questions:

1. What do you do?
2. How do you do it?
3. Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?

Please read on to find out more about Rachel Rainey.



























Rachel Rainey
Painter/Illustrator
Tulsa, OK


What do you do?

I'm a self taught Painter/Illustrator. In the past year I have gathered a small following on my Youtube channel where I share my painting/drawing process. My work focuses on feeling. It explores the contrast between the harshness of the world and the softness of people with semi realistic portraits . Last year I began selling art prints on my online shop when some of my followers mentioned they might be interested in purchasing some from me. 




How do you do it?


I work primarily in ink and watercolors but occasionally I use gauche when I need something I bit more opaque. I normally start by sketching out a basic idea on printer paper. Once I'm happy with what I have I then transfer the finished sketch lightly on to watercolor paper. Then I can set up my camera and start recording myself paint. Taking breaks to let layers dry or to move the camera to a better angle. After I'm finished with all of that I'm free to photograph my work and upload it to Instagram and upload a satisfying video to youtube of the whole painting process.




Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?

In the beginning a tried out a few other photo printing services and I was always disappointed. But after awhile I came across a youtube video that covered how this other artist made their prints, it turned out they used iprintfromhome. After placing my first order I was convinced; the quality was amazing. And the drop shipping has saved me so much time sending out orders since I don't have to worry about how it will turn out. I can trust that my customers will be as happy as I am.
