Final Piece

All commissions begin with a meeting between the artist, Jenny, and the client to discuss what the client is interested in having painted.  This meeting can be over the phone, through email, or in person.   At this meeting, the subject, size, medium and price of the piece, as well as whether the painting will be painted from life, from photographs taken by the artist of the subject, or the client's own photographs, will be discussed.  Any photograph can be transformed into a lasting oil, pencil, or watercolor portrait.  School photos, wedding pictures, old family photographs or any other photographic source are all perfect for a special painting.

If the decision is made to work from life or from photographs to be taken by the artist, a posing session is scheduled which usually lasts under an hour.

  If the decision is made for the artist to work from the client's supplied photographs, or from life or photos as described above, the next step for the artist is to complete a scale sketch of the final piece, which the client can then approve.

Once the final sketch is approved, I can begin work on the final piece!
