The Portrait Process

Michael prefers to paint his subjects in their own personal surroundings. He will come to your home or office where he requires only two to three sessions with the subject that is to be painted. The first session is a consultation on how the subject is to be portrayed in the portrait. Questions of formality, clothing, background and the actual size of the painting would be addressed at this time. The second meeting, which can be combined with the first, consists of a preliminary photography session, where Michael will photograph the subject in several different poses and compositional formats. Once the preliminary photos are reviewed, a small pencil sketch of the final composition will be presented to the client along with an exact price quote for approval. Another photo session of the agreed upon pose may be required at this time. Michael may also request the subject to sit for a brief pencil sketch and or color study. With sketches and photos in hand, Michael will then return to his studio where he will begin to paint the actual portrait.

Pricing

All portraits are done in a traditional ¾ to life size format. A price guide is below and may vary depending on the complexity of the background and surrounding elements. Upon approval, a 50% deposit is required. Completion of a portrait may take 2 to 3 months for a single subject, depending on size. Before the actual painting is shipped to the client, a photograph of the completed portrait will be sent to the client for approval, upon which the final balance is due, prior to shipping.
