How To Commission A Portrait
I like to offer a private consultation to determine if my work is compatible with a potential client’s needs. During this meeting, we look at some of my work and discuss the specifics about the commission process such as size, style, dates of delivery, pricing, what’s included, and terms.
Beginning The Portrait Process
Upon a commission commitment and 30% deposit, I’ll arrange an interview with my client to spend more time together and to get to know them a little better. Soon thereafter, I’ll provide sketches of concepts to consider and set up a photo session (at my clients home or ideally in my studio) to explore the concepts even further.
The Portrait
Once I edit down the images to 3 choices, one is chosen and a full-scale color printout will be reviewed for details, size and cropping. Upon final sign-off, I move forward to the actual painting process. I like to photograph the stages of the painting and can send the images via email for viewing.
The Portrait Unveiling
Once I’m finished, a date is arranged to review the painting and make any minor adjustments and review the schedule for framing and delivery. A future varnishing schedule and instructions on care, lighting and hanging is also determined at this time.
Pricing
Prices begin at $1,500 for an 11 x 14 oil painting on linen
