Portraits and Paintings FAQ

Q-What medium do you use?
A- I prefer to do portraits in oil but I am versatile in other mediums (acrylic, watercolor, pencil), which are available, and I can email you with a quote.

Q- what are the portraits painted on?
A- Any portraits painted in oil or acrylic are painted on stretched canvas.

Q- why do you charge more for an extra individual in the same portrait even though size of the canvas stays the same?
A- An extra individual is another portrait and requires as much work as the first one.

Q- Should I send actual photos to you or can I send photos by email.
A- Both. I can work from a really good emailed picture but I would much prefer a photo.

Photo

• Select a clear photograph (3x5 or up).
• Additional photos are useful for reference if you are making any changes to the original photo. Otherwise they are not necessary. If you are using several photos, number them and make detailed notes what to use from each.
• If you are using a professional photo, you will need a “ copyright release” from the photographer or studio to include with your order.
