Portraiture Schedule (Photo-Based)
I respect the schedules of each client to guide the process. During our initial meeting, any adjustments to the following schedule can be discussed.
INITIAL MEETING AND PHOTO SESSION | Speak with client and get to know their character. Discuss the image that the client wishes to convey. Afterwards, a photo session is held. Time Involved: 1–2 hours |
SECOND MEETING | Approve photographs and take supplementary stills if needed. Time Involved: 1–2 hours |
HEAD STUDY | The client poses in-person for a color study. Time Involved: 1–3 hours |
COMPOSITIONAL STUDY | If the portrait is a ¾ figure or full figure, I will create a compositional study of the final portrait. This will be presented to and approved by the client. Time Involved: Varies depending on portrait |
PAINTING OF THE PORTRAIT | All approved information (notes, sketches, photos) are taken to my studio, where the portrait is executed. A photograph of the completed portrait will be sent digitally by e-mail or presented in-person, dependent on distance. Time Involved: Varies according to my work schedule at the time and the client’s needs. |
FINAL MEETING | The portrait is presented to the client in-person. Adjustments of any subtle details, if necessary, are noted and resolved. Time Involved: Dependent on client |
Portraiture Schedule (Live Painting)
The procedure for a portrait executed from life would be approached similarly to the above, with the addition of live sittings.
For example, a head-and-shoulders portrait would require a minimum of 5 sittings at 2 hours each session. Time requirements for more complex portraits would be addressed against the client’s needs.
These sittings can be held in my studio or a client’s home.
