Portrait Commissions
Commissioning a portrait is a wonderful way to capture the essence of a person and create a memory. Whether it's a friend, family member or even yourself, a portrait can be a beautiful and meaningful addition to your home or as a gift.
Portrait commissions typically range from head and shoulders to half-length portraits, using both formal and informal poses. This will depend on the occasion, size and your personal preference.
"Alla Prima" Portraits
Alla prima portraits are painted in a single sitting using wet-into-wet oil techniques. This approach captures immediacy and character, resulting in expressive, painterly portraits. With a streamlined process, these commissions offer a more budget-friendly way to own an original oil painting.
