Please Contact Me to discuss specifics of your project
PLANNING A PORTRAIT
I work from photos for convenience, but if your location allows it, I love to visit in person and take my own photos to work from. this gives me a chance to meet the person. If that is not possible, I do ask for several photos of the subject in various situations so that I can get to know them thru the photos and better capture who they are in the final portrait. We can do a video chat or email chat to determine which photo you prefer for the final portrait.
I will begin the portrait and if any adjustments are being made to the original image, I will send progress images for approval. The final image is emailed for approval before it is shipped or delivered. Portraits are painted on canvas with a 3/4″ stretched board ready for framing or if you prefer no frame, it can be done on a 1.5″ canvas. The soft texture of a child’s skin is best done with pastels which would require a frame. If I ship your portrait, I make sure it is safely protected for travel.
PRICES
These are the most common sizes although we can discuss other sizes according to your needs. If it says “head only” its because that small of a canvas will not allow enough room for detail on the body.
PRICES ARE FOR ONE PERSON. EACH ADDITIONAL PERSON (or pet) please add 35% As it is double the work and time to complete. 2 or more people are available only on a 16 X 20 canvas or larger in order to provide enough detail.
