Process

All portraits are created on special art boards that come in a variety of colors to compliment any subject and décor. These boards are acid free and lightfast, that is permanent and fade resistant. Museum archival quality.

There are 3 medium choices. Each has a varying degree of difficulty, detail and time consumption. This as well as the subject matter, number of subjects per piece and degree of difficulty will determine the final price.

Medium breakdown is as follows:

CHARCOAL

The subject will be drawn in black and white charcoal pencils on a color toned museum board. Charcoal portraits give a classic look to any "Human" subject. It is a very finished rendering.

(charcoal is not recommended for animal portraits)

PASTEL

Pastels are specialized, soft, colored chalks. If it is a color portrait you have in mind, pastels can bring out all of the colors, hues, tones and values to make any subject look realistic. This also is a very permanent medium when framed properly.

OIL PAINT

Canvases are hand prepared in shop using a detailed process that allows the perfect application of paint for an exact likeness. This medium is the most definitive, finest detail and depth.

All three media include a perfect likeness and full expression.
