Portrait commission

Name: Portrait commission
Brand: Elisabeth Svendby
Price: 2500.0 NOK
Availability: InStock

These portraits are made with oil paints on Japanese Okawara paper. This paper has a velvety structure and light cotton color, which is visible through the paint.

My style is what you see in the examples, fairly loose and sketchy. You can select to have a loose background, like my self portrait, or just the paper, like the portrait of Phoebe Waller-Bridge. You can also submit full or partial figure, and we can find a suitable composition from that.

After booking, I will contact you by e-mail, and we can start the process.

Timeframe 2-6 weeks depending on my schedule, and allowing time for the oil paint to dry enough to be shipped. Please e-mail me if you have any questions.

Choosing a photo

Please make sure to send the best picture you have, as I can only paint what I see. Good lighting and sharp nice resolution is also recommended. You can also send me several options when I reach out to you, and help you select a suitable reference photo.

Feedback and iterations

Once you choose a photo, I will suggest a crop and layout of the painting. If you agree, I will go ahead with painting, and when I am done, you will have a chance to see it and ask for minor adjustments before I leave it to dry.

Framing and matting

If you are picking up the portrait from my studio in Oslo, I do offer mounting and framing options for you. Just let me know in our e-mail conversation, and I will give you some options.
