If you truly want to capture your child at a certain stage of their life then a portrait is the way to do it. Our artist is world-renown and has painted some of the most famous children in the world.
The process may sound lengthy but it's worth the effort because you will be left with an image that no camera could recreate.
Before beginning the work our talented portrait artist will discuss the drawing in depth with you, either in person, by phone or via email. Preliminary sketches are made and photography may be used for reference. This approach guarantees a sensitive and highly finished drawing in her chosen medium, conté crayon, a type of chalk.
Once the commission is to proceed, a date is arranged for the sitting (anywhere in the London area). Only a one-hour sitting is required, during which some reference photographs are taken and the essential sketches made. These are taken back to the studio where a finished drawing is worked up measuring approximately 58 x 49 cm. A month later the completed portrait is delivered in a washlined, bevelled mount, hand-crafted on acid-free museum board with hinged backing.
Portrait can be framed (which is priced separately).
