Roadmap Portrait on Assignment

Step 1. A Fusion of Ideas.

Our creative journey together begins with an inspiring conversation centered on your vision and ideas. My goal is to understand the essence of your portrait, and together we explore the world of styles to discover the most authentic work of art for you. During this process, we discuss your preferences, ranging from style and color to the perfect canvas size.

Step 2. Pricing

Having a commissioned portrait painting created is a unique and lasting choice, infused with carefully spent time and artistic experience. The price of your personal portrait depends on several factors, including canvas size, number of people, specific concepts and refinement of background details. Feel free to contact me for customized advice.

Step 3. Photography

Provide a clear, high-quality photograph of the person(s) to be portrayed. Consider a shot against a bright background, in which even the eyelashes are sharp and clearly visible when zooming in on the eyes. The most important requirement is that I can zoom in fully and still perceive clear detail. The clearer and sharper the photo, the better the result will be. I assess the photo material to check if it is sufficient to work with. If desired, I can visit in person to take the photo.

Step 4. Concept, Sketching, Composition.

After approval of any concept, I begin sketching the portrait to accurately capture the composition and proportions. During the creation, you remain informed, allowing us to evolve together towards the desired result.

Step 5. Painting Process: 2 to 8 Weeks

I get to work on the painting and keep you informed about the process and the result. Using acrylic paint, I offer flexibility in adding different materials and expressive paint textures, tailored to your artistic tastes. Creating a work of art takes between 2 and 8 weeks, depending on the subject matter and desired size. Once the painting is finished, you will receive a photo of the result. Any changes can still be made if necessary.

Step 6. Protective varnish

After your approval, I provide the portrait with a signature and a final coat of varnish. Adjustments are not possible after the varnish layer.

Step 7. Handover and Satisfaction

Upon completion, I hand over the artwork to you. When shipped, the painting is carefully packaged. Payment, including any shipping costs, must be made in advance. Optionally, I can deliver the painting to your home and hang it if desired.
