Portrait commissioning process

First meeting

I want to capture the essence of the subjects I paint, so I'm interested in getting to know you and your story. Once you fill out the contact form, I will reach out to you via your chosen form of communication. I’m happy to meet you in person or online to discuss your vision for the painting, reference photographs, canvas sizes, your budget and subsequent pricing.

First installment

Once we agree on a price, I request a 50% installment prior to beginning the painting. Depending on subject matter, I may provide sketches and color studies prior to payment upon request to assure your vision will be provided. You will receive a link to my website where you can make the payment. I will send you photo updates throughout the process.

Final painting

The painting process can take anywhere from three weeks to several months, depending on the size and complexity of the portrait. The final 50% payment will be due once the painting is finished. If you are local to the Mobile, Alabama area, we can arrange pickup or personal delivery. If you are not local, shipping costs will be added to the final half of your payment.
