Portrait commission
Portrait commission
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, with variations on levels of rendering. We can talk about the style of portrait you want before I begin. Off course, within the range of paintings you have already seen me make.
You can also submit full or partial figure, and I will be happy to help you find a suitable composition. Like the painting of my grandfather skiing.
The most important thing is that I make something you love.
After booking, I will contact you by e-mail, and we can start the process.
Timeframe: 2-6 weeks depending on my schedule, and the number of figures in the painting. More details below.

Choosing a photo
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
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.
