Portraits in Graphite/Charcoal
Celebrate a special age or time with a memorable portrait of you, a loved one, family member or friend. Each portrait is a genuine work of art that can be kept and enjoyed or given as a personal gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions. Please visit the
for examples of my work.
Commissioning a portrait is easy, fun, and especially rewarding.
The following will lead you through the steps of photo selection, and
provide information about pricing, payment and delivery of your portrait.
Photograph Selection:
Please, compare the photo(s) you choose to the following criteria. If possible a professional photo is best.
-
The photo(s) must be clear and sharply focused.
-
The head size should not be smaller than 1 and 1/2 inches.
-
Hair pattern should be visible to reveal how it is combed.
-
If glasses are worn, make sure the glare does not hide the eyes.
-
The separation between the pupil and iris of the eye, as well as the color of the eyes must be visible.
-
Side lighting is best. However, as long as the subject is properly lighted and the photo is not too light (washed out) and does not contain intense dark shadows, the photo should work.
You can simply mail your photos (contact me for mailing address) or email the image by scanning your photo at 300 dpi into a .jpg format. For best results use a resolution of 1280 x 1024 or higher. If needed, Kinko's can help you with this. Artist must approve photos.
