The artist works from a combination of photographs taken by her and sittings, if possible. Typically, the photo session is done with a digital camera either on location or in the artist’s studio. This session takes approximately two hours to complete. The cost of the photography is included in the listed price.

A recommendation on the size of the portrait will be made. This often is based upon where the portrait will hang. The artist reserves the right to alter the size of the portrait slightly to enhance the composition of the portrait. This will not reflect a price change.

On occasion, a compositional sketch or head study will be done before beginning the portrait. All portraits are done in oil on canvas or linen.

Travel and expenses are additional charges.

Fees
All Portraits are done in oil on canvas or linen.
Portrait Cost is determined by the portion of the figure in the painting rather than the painting size.

Prices are based on:
Bust (head and shoulders)
1/2 to 3/4 Figure
Full Figure
Portrait in the Grand Manner

Portraits will be life size or under. (Except in special circumstances, larger than life size figures appear unnatural.)

*Additional figures and pets:  For each additional figure in the portrait, add 50% of the cost of the first figure.  For each pet in the portrait add $800.00
