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.
