You must physically be able to sit across from me at my studio here in Portland, OR.
I paint typically one live session portrait a week at maximum, Though will make adjustments if a couple would like to book paint sessions close together or you are traveling to be painted by me.
I try and keep my portrait sessions on Thursdays with a 9am start time.
A portrait session typically takes between 5-7 Hours. we take breaks to stretch and move around throughout, as well as an hour long break for lunch outside of the studio.
Once I get to 95% of the way complete, I will photograph you in the studio, we will stop for the day and I will keep the painting hanging on the wall of my studio for around a month. I do this so I can ensure that I don’t overwork the painting. I like to spend time with it with fresh eyes and some space from the live session. I'll finalize things, maybe tweak a detail or 2 based off the photo reference I snapped while in the studio.
There will be no refunds regardless of outcome with an understanding that this is a painting of you from live observation, as I see you, in conversation. Painted to the best of my ability, with my full attention, and in my style.
The cost of this Experience is 800$
****I do not paint Portraits from Photograph unless it is a memorial for someone who is deceased, feel free to send me a message for an inquiry.****
