 Procedure
The
process begins with a meeting between the client and the
artist to discuss portrait details, such as, single person
or group portrait, pets or furnishings to be included, the
desired mood and clothing for the painting (formal or casual),
background (indoor or outdoor), and where you plan to hang
your finished portrait. These details help determine the
size and price of your portrait.
Upon agreement
a sitting is scheduled. This is a photography session
with the artist at the client’s home, office, or
desired background location. The session will take one
to two hours depending on the complexity of the composition
and number of figures portrayed.
The best of
the photography will be shown to you for your comments.
Taking your comments into consideration, preliminary studies
are prepared for your review before the painting is started.
The oil portrait
is created in the artist’s studio using the selected
photos and studies for reference. Your portrait should
be completed within 60 to 90 days from your approval of
the photos and preliminary studies. |
