A standard oil portrait is painted on stretched or mounted linen, and includes the head and shoulders with a basic colored background. Additional features and backgrounds are options.

 

Portraits are based on a high-resolution, digital photo provided by the client. It must be free of external copyrights, or with written documentation that it is free and clear of copyright for the purposes of the oil portrait. The artist generally does not invent features but produces them based on the photo. The artist can potentially take photos of the subject for an additional fee.

​

Reference images of portrait styles are also helpful, as I can create a range of styles based on your taste.

 

I offer a discount of 15% for students at schools in Larkspur, Monument, and Palmer Lake, Colorado; in Big Lake, Minnesota; and for military families. The client must request this discount before or during the process and will not receive a refund after final payment. Discount includes all painting, but not (optional) framing.
