Portrait Commissions and Fees
|
|
My goal in creating a portrait is not merely to copy a photograph, but rather to capture the subject’s character and personality. You may either contact me to arrange a photography session, or you may mail photos or e-mail digital photos from which I will base the portrait, provided they are not professional photographs. Please keep in mind that I will need high resolution photographs in order to capture subtle details. Also, when creating a portrait of someone I have not met in person, I prefer to have several reference photos that showcase the subject’s facial expressions and character.
To commission a portrait, please contact me by e-mail or by phone, indicating the subject or subjects (adult, child, pet), size preferences, the medium (graphite, colored pencil), and the extent of the portrait:
- Vignette (fully resolved face with less developed background)
- Head and shoulders
- Three Quarter Length (including torso and hands)
- Full Length
Once I receive your request, I will then send you a contract with the price quote. Sign and return the contract along with a 50% down payment, and I will begin work on your portrait. You may pay by PayPal by sending the payment to my PayPal identifier: hbedrosian@hotmail.com, or by personal check. Please note that checks must clear the bank before I ship artwork.
I use professional quality supplies and acid free paper or board. Please allow one month for delivery.
