COMMISSIONING A PORTRAIT

Commissioning a Portrait is an important undertaking for generations to come so it's crucial to make the distinction between merely copying a photo and creating an expressive work of art.

The untrained eye draws a mask, devoid of character and depth. A skilled artist brings the experience of working from life to improve on a photo and imparts the crucial element which the camera cannot express; the soul.

When photographs are used, developing a portrait from a number of references, vs. just copying a single photo is crucial. It’s beneficial to work from life but if not possible it is best to meet the subject in person to prepare preliminary sketches and schedule a photo session.
