I truly enjoy painting child portraits because they are in essence.
They are genuine and pure and haven’t yet been conditioned by the outside world.

HOW TO COMMISSION A CHILD PORTRAIT
​Part of my creative process involves photographing the child in order to capture their character. The more natural, the better. This usually takes a couple of hours.
The session may take place at your home, business, location of your choice, or at my studio in Italy.

Upon returning to the studio, I will draft a sketch of your painting and submit it for your approval within a week.
​
Once the sketch has been approved I will start your portrait. Depending on size and medium used, it may be ready within 2-6 weeks.
​
Upon completing your portrait, an image will be sent for your approval. If necessary, retouches may take place.
​
Once your portrait is dried, it will be packaged and shipped using a tracking number.
(Shipping costs are included in fee.) I can also offer framing or mounting suggestions.
​
Your child portrait may be realised in a variety of mediums such as sanguine and black pencil on paper, pen and ink on paper, and oil or acrylic paints on linen canvas.
​
I use only the finest Italian mineral pigments and personally hand-stretch my linen canvases.

* Preliminary costs such as travel are billed as incurred and a non-refundable deposit of 50% is due when painting begins. The balance is due upon completion and final approval of the portrait.
