FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I paint custom portraits in oil of people and pets from photographs that people send me. Over the years I have established a nice client base and a lot of my new work comes from client referrals. New clients mail me 3-4 images of their loved ones and we go through a selection process to find the photo that would be most suitable for a painting. Sometimes it is necessary to combine several photos which I manipulate digitally to get a mock up what the painting could look like. When a client approves the mock-up the painting process begins. Throughout the painting process I send clients work in progress shots via email, so that they are at all times aware of how their painting progresses. Only after the client approves the final close-up shots of the painting, does it get prepped for shipping.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
It is always best to view an artist's portfolio first to make sure that the work is to your liking. I encourage my clients to comment on the work in progress photos I send them via email, so that they are at all times aware of how their portrait progresses.
