Portrait Commission Procedures:

(1) FIRST MEETING
The first meeting usually takes 2-3 hours in client's home or office. At this time, I will determine the sitting, and the size of the painting with the client. The contract will be signed and 1/4 of the fee for deposit will be made at this point. Then I will photograph the portrait subject, and do some quick sketches.

(2) COMPOSITION PROOF
A pencil sketch will be made and sent to client for composition proof. Another 1/4 of the fee will be due upon approval of the composition, then I will start to paint the portrait in my studio.

(3) SECOND MEETING
The completed portrair will be presented to client in studio, or approval from 4X5 transparency or a photograph. At which time reasonable adjustment for the portrait can be made, and a final sitting in studio may be needed.

(4) DELIVERY
Balance is payable before delivery is made.
