Charcoal Portrait Commission - Click to see details
Portrait will be created on 17 × 14” paper with adequate margins for framing and potential cropping. Portraits typically are 5 - 7”.
Medium: Charcoal
PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, in addition to purchasing.
- Include 3 - 10 photos for me to choose from.
- I also can photograph for the commission. (This option requires more info. Are you local or visiting Portland soon? Willing to cover travel expenses for me to come to you?)
Regarding photo reference:
Ideally one light source, with an obvious shadow pattern and lights. Think of sitting outside with only the sun providing light, under/near a lamp, professional photography lights, etc.
While photo quality isn’t the most important, it can determine how much detail I am able to portray. (I’ve worked from polaroids, water-stained photos, and creased images, so it’s worth having a conversation if you are unsure but attached to one.)
I recommend having your portrait commission custom framed, behind glass or an equivalent, with a mat or spacer to prevent charcoal from touching the glass. Each drawing will be lightly fixed, but still will be fragile. Shipping within the U.S. is included and shipped flat. An option to ship or pick up can be selected at check out.
If you have more than five files you’d like to submit, please submit an additional form entry.
