CUSTOM PORTRAITS:

All portraits are a single image; drawn in pencil and hand painted in gouache on Lanaquerlle 140lbs hot press paper and matted on 2 ply Reisen museum board with white or black wooden frames.

My portrait work should not be confused with caricaturists, cartoonists or street portrait artists. I have exhibited internationally and my work is collected by major corporations and museums. Each portrait is a unique and individualized work of art that will appreciate in value.

What I need from you:

  1. You need to e-mail me a low-resolution picture of the subject in profile. The best position is when the subject’s whole body is in profile preferably taken against a white wall (without the use of a flash) and a dark wall (if using a flash) with as little shadow as possible, 3/4 views are not acceptable.

  2. Forward the person(s) name, caption, what direction they should be facing and color selection (for color selection you can refer to an actual Benjamin Moore paint chip or a virtual Fan deck at www.benjaminmoore.com Select "explore color" then "virtual fan deck").
  3. Indicate white or black frame.

1-2 week turn around.

PET PORTRAITS:

Please send a sampling of full figure images of your pet. Often pets are better if painted in a horizontal direction-please specify if you prefer horizontal or vertical presentation.

  • There is a $200 re-do fee if the client wants changes after the portrait has been made. There is no fee if the portrait needs to be re-made due to artist mistake or error.
  • Benjamin Moore paint chip samples are only meant to be a guide for a chosen color and not an exact match. The artist will do his best to match the selected color as much as possible.
  • Any markings (pencil and paint) in the area of the "portrait" fall under the category of "artistic impression"
