Portrait Procedure

The portrait procedure begins with a discussion between the artist and client at either the client's location or the artist's studio. At this time, the mood, setting, size, medium and price of the portrait is decided.

Kerry then holds one and possibly two photographic sessions of about two hours. She may also do some quick sketches to capture likeness and characteristics of the subject. The artist then selects three to five photographs to be used as references and discusses them with the client. With the client's approval, the artist proceeds with the portrait at her studio.

An approximate date of completion is given - usually two to three months after the portrait is started.

Pencil sketches and roughs that are completed as part of the preliminary work for a portrait can be purchased for additional fees.
