COMMISSIONING A PORTRAIT

At Night, GODDESS or other Commissioned Portraits

Please note that all subjects for portraits wear sunglasses.

THE PROCESS

Here’s a quick summary of how to commission a portrait:

STEP 1

Please get in touch with any questions, or if you need a quote. If you decide to go ahead, we’ll then have a chat by phone or email about exactly how you want your portrait to appear in terms of size, style, background colour and so on. Have a look through the gallery and let me know if any particular portraits are in a style that you prefer.

STEP 2

I work from a head shot only. I then come up with a composition and attire to suit either the At Night, Goddess or a subculture theme of your choice.

Take some head shot photos to give me a rounded image of the subject, and so that we can choose one key image amongst them for me to work from.

I’ll need a picture taken preferably on a digital camera (not a phone camera) that has a high resolution, close up and clear. The better the image the more detail I will be able to take to create the painting.

Before I begin I require a 30% deposit which is non refundable to cover research and devloping drafts.

STEP 3

When I feel that the portrait might be finished, I will email you a draft copy for you to have a look.

At this point you can let me know how you find the likeness, and if there’s anything you’d like me to alter.

I’ll make any adjustments (up to three adjustments) and when you’re completely happy you can make the final payment and I’ll send your portrait straight out to you.
