Portrait Commissions


	Ë This is a fairly quick sketch, either of the full-figure or of just the face and upper body. A background setting may be included but is not always necessary. Generally, this drawing may be finished in as little as 5 minutes, but a more reasonable estimate would be 10 or 15 minutes of sitting time. price: $35
	Ë This is a commissioned set of drawings to be scheduled for an afternoon or evening sitting. A minimum of 3 large drawings will be made, but I will not limit myself to just this. If time allows, and the sitter does not tire, I may ask to continue working in order to satisfy my own demand that at least one piece stands out as decidedly 'my' work. Finally, you must be satisfied that you are receiving true works of art as opposed to simply a rendered likeness. Everything I draw during this commissioned session will be yours. price: $250
	Ë This will likely be made up of more than one Drawing Session, as described above. In this I am given freedom to develop at least one piece to the fullest extent as my conception requires. This one piece, while in the end being yours, will have no over-riding demand that it either represents anyone in particular or 'looks like' any of my models. You are commissioning me to create a work of art as opposed to commissioning me to make a portrait. While the subject of the piece is derived from life drawings, from there my license, if you will, reigns. The finished work and the life drawings will be yours. My work is impressed with my intent...until my hand resigns from my will. price: $550
	Ë A negotiated piece based on things such as the number of models, the setting, the size of the work, and possible accommodations and travel expenses if I am required to travel far. This work is painted necessarily from life. price: starting at $2500
