PROCEDUREThere are usually no more than two sittings of 1 ½ to 2 hours for each subject…….
At the first sitting Photographs will be taken. Backgrounds may be indoors or outdoors,
and special requests will be honored.

Completion time from the first sitting to the final sitting is 9 months to a year.
TECHNIQUE
Using large fluid brush strokes with volumes of color creates a distinctive style….which makes Adams’ portraits easily recognizable……..to bring a Portrait to it’s completion Coni uses a wet on wet approach, sometimes using a palette knife and at other times brushing thick pure paint over wet or drying areas.
FRAMINGIt’s been Coni’s experience that many Clients prefer that the artist choose the Frames for their Portraits. Coni’s frame supplier has developed frames uniquely suited to Coni’s painting style. Choice of moldings is meant to accent the Portrait while not distracting from the Subject. If you choose to purchase a frame from the artist pricing can be requested.
All Frames are manufactured here in the USA. A week or two before Coni’s return for the final sitting the frames are shipped to the place of completion. It is requested that the box not be opened since hardware and other materials may be misplaced.
At the final sitting, the likeness is reviewed and any final details are added. The Portrait is placed into the frame. It is requested any changes be made at the time of completion.
