process
When embarking on a new portrait commission, I like to meet the sitter in person, spend some time getting to know them over a cup of tea, and then I take photographs, do preliminary sketches and mix some paints to create a colour chart which I will work from in my studio to create the painted portrait.
Spending time with the sitter is an important part of observing someone, so unless the portrait is posthumous, I avoid work from other people’s photographs.
All portraits are painted in oil on board.
I am always happy to take on commissions so please get in touch via my contact page for any enquiries.
