The Portrait

The overall size of the graphite drawing of one subject or two subjects is 10” x 14” and is drawn on 100% cotton, heavyweight acid-free art paper. It is given a light spray of fixative to reduce smudging.  The drawing is prepared for framing and is mounted under a 3" white mat. This size will fit a 16"x20" ready-made frame. Three or more subjects in one drawing will require a larger area for the drawing. Dimensions will be discussed with the client beforehand.

Your Photo(s)

Portraits are drawn from one or more photo references (multiple subjects and background do not need to be in the same photo).  Digital images are welcome, as are film photos. See the Information Sheet for image specifications. Please note that professional studio photos are copyrighted and may not be used to create your portrait unless a written release is obtained.

The artist can take photographs for the portrait if the client lives near Overland Park, Kansas. A nominal fee of $25 is charged to cover time and expenses.

Cost

The cost for a portrait of one person is $175. Add $85 for each additional subject in the same drawing. The portrait will be head and shoulders with a simple rendering of clothing and with a white background. There is an additional charge of $35 for rendering detailed clothing and for including a background because of the extra drawing time involved. ($70 for both).

The cost of a house portrait is $210, which includes landscaping.

Shipping cost is approximately $14 if the portrait is mailed to the client, and Kansas residents will need to pay sales tax of 7.525%.

Time

Your portrait will take the artist approximately 3-4 weeks to complete from the time it is scheduled. You will be kept informed throughout the progress and notified when to expect your portrait to be ready.

See the Information Sheet for further details.
