-- The Portrait Procedure --
Commission a portrait with four easy steps:
1. Give us a call and let's discuss your vision, your budget and the details of what you would like, such as: the overall mood of the painting, color scheme, attire, poses, size, and where the portrait will hang.
2. Schedule a photography session with the artist. This will last approximately one hour and will include various poses and lighting.
3. The artist then goes to work to create your work of art with a style and expertise that has been perfected through years of study and experience into a masterpiece for your home or office. Once the painting has been started, the process can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks.
4. When the painting is completed it will be delivered or shipped to your home, beautifully framed and ready to hang.
Portrait options include the following sizes:
- Head & Shoulders
