Final Portrait Size
The artist will work with the client and make a recommendation on the size of the portrait, often based upon where the portrait will hang. The artist reserves the right to alter the size of the portrait slightly to enhance the composition of the portrait. This will not reflect a price change.
Procedure
The artist works from a combination of photographs taken or approved by her and sittings, if possible. She sometimes makes a compositional sketch or head study for the client before beginning. The cost of the photography is included in the listed price when taken by the artist.
In some circumstances, photography may be an additional charge. Travel and expenses are additional charges. Crating and shipping are additional charges.
Payment Schedule
One-third payment deposit is requested with the signing of the contract and establishes a place on the artist’s waiting list.
