Procedure for Commissioning a Portrait
I've found the following procedure to be most productive and efficient:
after you contact me, a meeting at your home or my studio will be arranged. I like to have an opportunity to get to know my subject and my client's expectations of their portrait before I begin. Ideally, at this time, we would discuss and agree upon the general style and size,
confirm the price, sign the contract and schedule the sittings.
A deposit is required at this time.
Unless otherwise arranged, the portrait is usually painted in my studio.
This process, usually takes less then 6 weeks.
ADDITIONAL SUBJECTS: Add 65% of price for each additional person included in the portrait. This will usually change the painting dimensions.
COMPLEXITY: Fees above are for a non-detailed painted background.
Particularly complicated backgrounds, pets or items such as musical instruments are approximately 25% above standard fees.
SIZES: Dimensions are approximate and can be adjusted as warranted.
FRAME: The cost of the frame is not included in the portrait fee.
If you would like, I will select a quality frame, which will be quoted separately. Unless otherwise specified, your portrait will not be framed.
TRAVEL EXPENSES: Painting the portrait away from my studio will incur travel expenses.
All travel (time & expenses) and accommodation expenses regarding the painting of the portrait, progress reviews, and delivery of completed work are additional and will be billed as such. I can provide a reasonably accurate estimate of these expenses before work begins.
DELIVERY: I can deliver portraits within 20 miles of my studio.
CRATING AND SHIPPING: The costs of crating, shipping and insuring,
if required, are not included in portrait fees.
SALES TAX: Prices do not include any applicable sales tax.
PAYMENT TERMS: A non-refundable deposit of 1/2 is required before work begins.
When the painting is done, the client will have a chance to review it and request any reasonable changes. Any major changes (i.e. change of pose, clothing or setting) will be quoted as additional. Upon acceptance of the portrait, the balance of the fee is due.
