PORTRAITS of PEOPLE
Following are my usual Portrait approaches.
Also, there may be other possibilities such as multiple sittings, sittings in a clients environment, travel to a location, etc... that I am open to discussing with you.
To email or speak with DIRCE go to the CONTACT PAGE.
- CLIENT SUPPLIED PHOTO:
You can simply email me the photo and then we can discuss further either in person, by phone or Skype, to discuss your expectations, portrait type, subject or subjects, acrylic or oil, background, size, price, time frame, etc.
Once we decide, I will prepare my agreement (a sample follows below), which clearly defines what we have agreed to. Along with your signing, you will a 50% deposit is required.
After that, you do not need to do anything, except possibly answer any questions I might have during my Painting Process. Except to OK the finished Portrait, either by email or in person, before your balance is due. After you have OK'd the portrait, and I have received your balance due, you may either pick up, or I can ship the completed Portrait Painting to you. You must be fully satisfied.
- STUDIO SITTING:
Our first step is a meeting, either in person, by phone or Skype, to discuss your expectations, portrait type, subject or subjects, acrylic or oil, background, size, price, time frame, etc.
Once we decide, I will prepare my agreement (a sample follows below), which clearly defines what we have agreed to. Along with your signing, you will a 50% deposit is required
In studio sitting of approximately 3 hours. During the sitting, I do a small drawing or painting and take photos. I then complete your portrait, in studio, referencing my painting and the photos. This works very well because it allows the subject(s) to not have to spend a lot of time posing for their portrait.
The live sitting time of 3 hours is for an individual subject's head and shoulders portrait. If more of the subject's body will be included or if there is more than one portrait subject then more time will be required
After you have completed your Studio Sitting(s) you generally have nothing to do except to OK the finished Portrait, either by email or in person, before your balance is due. After you have OK'd the portrait, and I have received your balance due, you may either pick up or I can ship the completed Portrait Painting to you. You must be fully satisfied.
ALSO,
Examples of sizes are available for viewing in this booklet with more on my website DirceKennedy.com. Depending on your specific needs a custom size may be appropriate.
All paintings are on gallery wrapped canvas with the edges of the painting painted into the composition. Therefore your painting is ready to hang without a frame. You also have the option to frame your portrait.
Packing and Shipping costs are additional.
Prices do not include any travel expenses or fees if any travel is required.
