Commission a portrait

Portraits are a meaningful and deeply personal gift. They are also a job that cannot be completed by just any artist; I have the skill and training to execute your portrait project with accuracy and style. Below are the variables that go into the cost of a piece. To request a quote, email your preferences and the reference image(s).

Media options:

• soft pastel on sanded paper

• acrylic paint on cradled panel or gallery wrapped canvas

Scale

I can work at any scale, but these are standard sizes that I recommend for easy framing: 5x7”, 9x12”, 11x14”, 16x20”, and 18x24”.

Intricacy

Pricing depends on how many subjects are being drawn and how much detail is involved.

Turnaround time

Within 30 days, depending on the artist’s workload and intricacy of the project. Expedited deadlines can be accommodated for a fee. Shipping time is another factor to consider.

Reference images

Reference images should be emailed; images sent via messages are too small to work from. Image requirements:

• high resolution (unless working from an antique)

• good shadows and light (no blow-outs)

• subject is candid or posed naturally
