Procedure

I generally paint from digital photographs that I download onto my computer. I prefer to take the photographs myself, but if the client chooses to provide a photo, it is essential that it be of high-quality resolution. A photo session will take from one to two hours. I can also paint from life if a client prefers. A portrait from life can be painted in my studio or at a location of the client’s choice. Together the client and I will decide upon the size, setting and mood of the painting, clothing to be worn and accompanying pets or objects. Before beginning the painting I will show a sketch to the client for approval. For those clients who live at a distance from me, I can photograph the painting at different stages of the process and send J-Pegs for approval.
