Commissioning a Portrait
|
Commissioning a Portrait Normally I arrange a meeting either at my studio or at the client’s home. I take a number of photos; typically this would take approximately 1 hour. I then agree with the client as to photo which portrays the sitter’s likeness and personality most accurately. After agreeing on the shot and composition I draft up 3 different sizes allowing the client to get a sense of the finished painting. Meeting the animal or person allows me to grasp their personality and gather important notes about hair, skin etc. however this is not always possible. Therefore I will accept photos via email or post provided they are clear and of a high quality. Below are sizes which I would be asked for regularly however I can work in larger sizes if requested.
