Portrait Process

Rebecca works from photographs of children, adults and animals. She can also create a custom landscape from your photo (see photo and painting of “On the River” below). After a consultation regarding medium, portrait size and attire, she will take several photographs on location.  In many cases, Rebecca can use a good quality photo submitted by the client instead. In the example below, the artist photographed Ella in the chair (oil) , but used a client photo of Ava and her horse (pastel). After the client agrees on the photograph, she will return to her studio to complete the portrait. One third of the portrait fee is due when the photographs are taken. The balance is due upon satisfactory delivery of the portrait.  Rebecca will work to the best of her ability to make sure the client is completely satisfied with the final portrait.  Additional cost for travel, complex background and multiple subjects. The typical turnaround is 3 months from approved reference photo.
