•The process of creating a portrait must always, when possible, begin with a meeting of the artist and sitter(s) to establish a physical, mental, emotional and energetic familiarity. During this initial meeting sketches and/or studies will be completed and a 1st sitting will be scheduled.
•The sittings will each last from 3-5 hours. Depending on the schedule and/or geographical location of the sitter, photos may be taken by the artist for continued work in between life-sessions.
•The portrait can either be painted in the artist’s studio or at the location chosen by the sitter (if conducive to painting). In certain cases photos can be taken at a desired location for reference, and may be combined with life-sessions for the completion of the final work.
•The artist will schedule the appropriate number of sittings in order to complete the portrait.
•All ©Copyrights, artist’s photos, sketches and studies will remain the property of the artist unless purchased by separate fee.
•Posthumous portraits will require the use of as many photo references as possible, which will be returned to the client at the completion of the portrait.
•All expenses above and beyond the portrait price such as; travel to and from desired locations, lodging, shipping of final art and/or framing will be paid for by the client and will be added to the final balance. (Any photography done by the artist is included in the portrait price.)
•For each additional figure per painting, add 50% of the original price:
(ex. Single Figure 30” x 24” oil on canvas: $4200 + one (1) figure @ $2100 = $6300)
•50% down at signing of contract, 50% at acceptance of final art.
•NY Sales Tax applies to all portrait commissions.
