For Caricature-Portraits, I work from one good, clear,
recent photo of the subject with the face itself being at least one
inch tall. If you include additional photos, you must specify the one
from which I should work to render the face. It should be a photo that
truly captures the person's look and personality. If you are
happy with the photo, you will be happy with the portrait.
A photo that requires major revisions would not be
suitable. Adding or removing a large amount of weight, age, hair,
beard, mustache, eyeglasses, hats, etc. would jeopardize achieving a
good likeness.
The details of the face in the photo should be crisp
and clear. Simply enlarging a blurry photo doesn't make it more clear,
it just makes a larger blurry photo!
Along with the photo you would supply the person's
eye and hair color and a list of jobs, hobbies, habits, memorable
events, etc. to put into the background. Reference material for
anything specific (logos, pets, family members, homes, mementos, cars,
etc.) must be supplied. You may specify the picture's overall layout or
leave it up to me.
Price: $100 for one person in the picture, $50 for
each additional person (small, quickly-rendered people or pets in the
background no extra charge)
For formal portraits,
portraits of homes or pets or custom
watercolors, once again, the photo is very important. It must
be fairly large and the details clear.
Prices: Starting at $150 for a pastel or watercolor
formal portrait or pet portrait, and $200 for a house portrait or a
custom watercolor from your photograph. The unframed size is 9"x12".
Upon speaking with you, other sizes and all other details that could
alter the price will be discussed.
To "complete the package" I offer matting and framing
at very reasonable prices.
Once all the required information is received, allow
approx. 3-4 weeks for delivery. All photos and reference material will
be returned.
