COMMISSION A PORTRAIT
To commission a portrait, please contact me by email and we can set something up! I paint adults, children, and some pets. The guidelines for selecting a good reference photo, painting sizes, and pricing are below.
PORTRAIT SHOP GUIDELINES:
--First, I do not paint portraits of portraits. They are fine already.
--The photo must be a natural pose.
--FULL head and at least part shoulders in the photo. I can crop a full head and torso shot. No full body shots. They don't crop clearly.
--Lights and shadows on the face preferred
--Photo must be clear. Fuzzy or blurry does not translate well.
--Did I mention no portraits of portraits? That means no paintings of professionally done photos.
--Single person portraits only. If you want sweetheart portraits, I can paint two of them and they can match (as much as possible).
--I prefer photos that show different expressions on the face, other than just a smile (although I love the smiles!)
--Please give me up to three or four weeks (or more) to complete your portrait. Most of the time it does not take that long.
