Basic process for a Portrait Commission, using Brix (see Brix image on this site) as an example: Brix was painted in oil on a 12 X 12 in canvas with a basic solid color background. The client provided several digital photos of the dog, and we then agreed on which pose and lighting was best to use as the main source photo. At this point I gave the client a time frame in which the painting would be completed, allowing for drying, varnishing, and shipping. The painting is shipped only after final approval is given by the client. Digital photos are sent a few times during the process for client feedback on the likeness, colors, etc., if desired.
Here's a look inside the studio while I was working on this portrait of NYC Goldendoodle Jake. I pre-mix many colors before I begin, and use many natural hair brushes, like red and black sable. There's a lot of set up AND clean up each day. You need to keep $100 brushes clean ;)
