All paintings are approximately life size and painted in oil on linen, canvas,
or wood panel. Smaller paintings (on paper or media board) can be quoted upon
request. More than three figures can be included at an additional cost. Travel,
framing, shipping are additional. Complicated backgrounds and addition of pets
(or pet portraits) will be quoted separately. A 1/4 (25%) deposit is due when
terms are agreed upon, with the balance due upon completion and acceptance of
the portrait. Portrait satisfaction is guaranteed (less any deposit). The
artist retains rights to use the image for display purposes, portfolio, and
advertising.
The process begins with an initial conversation to discuss the wishes of the
client which include: subjects, pose, setting and the environment where the
painting will be displayed. Photos may be sent with deposit. Client and artist
will review and choose the reference photos together. Some portraits may be a composite
of multiple photos. Short sittings can be arranged when feasible. Chris will
complete the portrait in his studio. Completion time varies, but is usually 2-4
months (less for drawings) from the client approval of the composition.
