| Portrait Procedure A portrait, is a collaboration between you and the artist The first meeting can be either at your home or my studio. At that time the formality of the portrait will be decided, and background and clothing chosen. If using photographs, I will do a sketch to show you the composition, and we can discuss changes you might want done. Another way to start the piece is to send me your photographs by e-mail so we can collaborate on some ideas, and see if they indeed will work for a finished piece of art. I am very open to all kind of ideas and will work with you for the piece you have always wanted. When all decisions are made, so that work on the portrait can begin, the cost is then adjusted and finalized. A finish date will be set and determined by my work schedule at that time. A portrait can take from four to six months to complete depending on the subject and background. I want to make this an easy and exciting process for you, so that you will have that one piece of art that will last and really be enjoyed, by everyone in your life. |
