First I wanted to make clear that you will have to provide me with at least one good quality digital picture by e-mail, in order to me to paint your portrait.   

Portrait painting process:

1)         Contact me by phone or e-mail to define the details of the desired painting.

2)         Once we define the basics (like size, medium, background, figure length and the approximate cost), and I receive a good quality digital picture that you can e-mail/airmail to me, I will provide you with a sketch of the proposed painting.

3)          If the drawing is approved, will start the work as soon as you return it to me.

4)          When the work is completed, I will e-mail a picture of the final work to you. In case you don't like it, I will keep the painting as part of my art portfolio. However, if you are satisfied with it, and want to purchase the portrait, than I will send you the final invoice of the amount due, and ship the portrait painting as soon as I receive payment.

5)          Paintings are shipped by UPS

Watercolor portraits will be matted in a soft white and buffered backing board, prior to shipping. The cost of it will be included in the cost quote. The painting will not be framed due to personal taste and by the fact you can have it professionally done in a local framing store.
