Frequently Asked Questions
 

What medium is used?
The portrait will be done in colour and/or watercolour pencil on acid-free paper. A fixative will then be applied to the image.

How long does it take?
Portraits are completed on a first-come-first-served basis. The time is variable dependent on the finished size and the amount of detail to the image. When a person commissions a portrait, an estimate of cost and completion date is generated. When the client approves the estimate the commission is undertaken.

Do the portraits require any special treatment?
No. The portrait will be pre-treated to ensure colour vibrancy and fidelity. Like all fine art, the portrait should be placed in a place of prominence away from direct sunlight. Placed in a picture frame to prevent the collection of dust, your family will enjoy your portrait for many years to come.

Will the final portrait be sent to me?
Once the portrait is complete a 'proof' copy is generated and sent to you (the commissioner) for approval. After your approval, arrangements will be made for your portrait delivery.
