Modeling and Commissioned Work
Generally, I commission for a body of work rather than for one drawing. This guarantees something excellent will be produced.
Classical Dutch
Gestural Modern
Post Modern Deconstructive
I think of it as fine art; figure drawing, with full involvement.
Other examples of figurative work can be seen in my Portfolio.

Every portrait is a study, a study of light, of environment, of ambiance. A study of life such that the drawing, or painting, shows this.
Just a simple sketch or the complexity of a painting ... Ask me about this.
Also, I will trade art in exchange for your time modeling for me. This is another way you can own some of my work. Email me.

A commissioned portrait, a serious work (all paintings should be), something valuable to have from then on. If you know my other works you know the value of a portrait (See NYAXE for examples.) Please contact me if you would like to negotiate a painting with figures in it, for this is what the painting becomes. It will be known as a painting, not a portrait.
