Commission an Oil Portrait
Where to start
I prefer to talk directly with my clients, which eliminates confusion in communication and saves middleman fees.
Often the client needs guidance as to the most appropriate way to convey the feeling desired and usually I can “read between the lines” to add that more personal touch to the portrait.
Every project is different so pricing is flexible based on size of desired painting and complexity of subject and background as well as number of subjects to be included.
Some sample prices follow:
12" x 16" single head and shoulders -starting at $3,500
22" x 28" individual-starting at $5,000
Please indicate whether the reference photograph will be provided or if arrangements need to be made for Mary to photograph the subject.
Terms
- Non-refundable deposit 50% of cost due at the beginning of the project.
- Balance due upon acceptance of the final painting, after any changes have been made.
- Shipping and sales tax are not included.
- Framing is client’s responsibility but I am happy to assist in this important step.
