Working from a client's photographs
If working from a photo I will prefer to have a range of photographs from the same person in order to understand the character of the person. And I prefer to also to make shots by myself if it is possible.
Typical procedure for commissioning a painting
A client makes an initial inquiry and a dialogue is established about the portrait, the size and any other preferences. (I will wish to see any reference material you may have at this time.)
I will respond with a price for the finished artwork and an approximate time-frame for completion. A deposit of 30% is usually required for the commission to begin (for small sizes 50%) and an agreement is to be signed. I undertake the painting project and send jpg. images of the near-completed work. If no changes are required (there have never been any) the painting is completed and the client notified when it is dry enough for packaging and shipping. On receipt of the remaining funds the painting is shipped.
While I am painting the portrait, it may be possible for you to watch the progress online.
Send photos for layout design and pricing via email or just send an email
Be sure to include the required painting size.
If you prefer to send photos through the mail, please email me for my mailing address
(I could be in the Netherlands at the moment or I could be in England).
