Portrait Sizes

I offer a wide range of portrait sizes, and will work closely with you to choose the perfect dimensions for your piece. 

I prefer to work on portraits in which the face is between 4 and 8 inches tall, big enough for some juicy detail, but not much bigger than life size.

Example sizes are shown below. I prefer to work on ACM panels, which are linen mounted on a 3mm thick aluminium composite material. These are rigid, lightweight surfaces unaffected by temperature or humidity changes, making them ideal, archival-quality pieces. If preferred, custom sizes are available in traditional stretched linen. During our initial consultation I can guide you through what materials and sizes would work best for your piece.

Painting in multiple translucent layers results in incredibly life-like skin tones. This refinement of color means these portraits are time-consuming to create, with each painting easily taking hundreds of hours to bring to life. I don’t just go as fast as I can, I paint until my work is the best it can be, and the faces are beautiful and life-like. Size depending, 6 to 9 months is a typical turnaround time for portrait painting.

I endeavor to be as transparent as possible, so the above price estimates are starting points to begin the discussion. Intricacies of clothing, accessories, furniture and background make for a more engaging image but also increase the amount of time the painting will require. Additional figures similarly raise the price.
