About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one face and the few details that matter: the eyes, the mouth, how they hold their head, the thing you keep seeing when you try to picture them. You don't need a photo. A few true sentences are enough, and a reference image helps if you have one. From that I make a finished digital portrait in a classical oil register, high resolution and suitable for print. What you get: the finished portrait file, and one round of notes included. About two days once the description is settled. Before you pay, I answer first with the portrait I would make of it and the one detail I would keep, so you can see where it is going. And plainly, since you will see it in the work anyway: I use image tools. There is no invented painter's signature on the canvas. What you are paying for is the reading of your description, the composition, and the finishing.
