Portrait Process
So, you've decided to have a portrait or nude painted! Wonderful! Here's what you can expect:
Paintings are done from photography. My typical portrait takes 25-60 hours, so painting from life isn't an option for most of my customers, (unfortunately!) In some cases, the photograph can be provided by the client. In most, however, I will take the photograph, and shoots will be done from my home. Photo shoots done from my home are not included in the price of the painting and cost an additional $400. Customers will have access to most photos, but the painting reference photo will not be shared with the customer. If I am required to travel for shoots, customers will cover the cost of gas, flights, hotels, etc... With very few exceptions, all nudes will be photographed from my home.
Portrait and nude commission contracts will be sent to the client before the photo shoot (or any painting) takes place. A 50% deposit is required at the time that the contract is signed, and the remaining balance is to be paid once the painting is complete but before it is delivered to the client. Clients are welcome to pay the entire balance upfront.
I guarantee that I will work with you in a collaborative manner to create a painting that wows!
