your portrait here

It's a good idea to inquire early, as there's usually a wait list.

After seeing your photo, I'll be able to give a good estimate of the time. This depends on how many people are in it, how much of the body is included, alterations and background, as well as my current orders.

​

 Oil portraits generally take anywhere from 10 to 30 hours of brush to canvas time to properly paint.  It is a 6 to 8 week process from start to finish. 

This medium requires appropriate dry time between layers (1-5 days) and for the final varnish (3 days to 1 week).

 

I want you to know that I hand paint every portrait. I do not use Photoshop or take shortcuts. All artwork is original and handmade. It is an honor to create something so special and sentimental for my clients.  As always, I send a final image for approval before your paining ships.
