PROCEDURE
The first meeting takes place between client and artist at either
subject's home or artist's studio to determine basic portrait
design, canvas size, pose, type of clothing, setting and lighting.
At the next meeting a photo session takes place
by the artist of up to 200 pictures - this process lasting about
two hours. With small children , the process can be divided into
two sessions.
Several options will then be presented to the client
from the photo reference . A final composition is agreed upon.
Because it's less of a drain on time and energy
to clients, I've found it's better to work from photographs than
private sittings. I prefer to take the photographs myself whenever
possible. Sometimes, however, it may be necessary to work with
photos you have on hand, or to assist you or your photographers
in providing me images. Either way, we will work together in determining
what will be the best resources for creating a successful portrait.
Time frames for completion will vary depending upon
the present waiting list for portraits and the complexity of portrait
Before completing the portrait, I will show it to
you for final approval. I will then do any touch-ups to adjust
the image to your satisfaction.
Works will be provided unframed. However, if you
prefer, I can have it framed for you or assist you in getting
a frame.
Additional sizes by quote. Additional subjects or
paintings each at 20% discount.
A deposit of 40% is due at the start of the process;
the remainder will be payable when the painting is completed and
you are satisfied with it.
