COMMISSION A PORTRAIT PAINTING:

PROCESS

* Following initial discussions with the client I will arrange to travel to an agreed destination at a convenient time for a reference photography session with the subject.
* An average photo shoot will take from 2-4 hours during which time will also discuss your thoughts regards the painting as well as numerous practical considerations.
* Back at the studio I will develope the painting composition based on the photographs and information supplied.
* Confirmation of the final details such as composition, dimensions and price will be established before actual painting commences.
* Your painting will then be painted with professional quality oils on premium stretched Canvas.
* Following sufficient drying time the completed painting will receive a final coat of finishing varnish to seal the surface and help protect the painting from the day to day elements.
* The painting will be delivered unframed (unless organised otherwise).

Please note: I do not generally paint from others photographic reference.
