Self Portrait

More exercises in monochrome. this is the first portrait I've done entirely from a photo. It is a slightly warped perspective, but I was able to be more acurate than I have been painting myself "live" by looking in the mirror. 11x14 guache on canvas, November 2008.

The Process

Here's a little about my process:

1. You contact me with a potential project

2. I come to potential project site to discuss the possibilities with you, take photos, notes, etc.

3. Depending on the nature of the project, I will come up with a visual preview of the final project (this could take the form of a sketch, photo shop document, fabric/ paint sample, etc.)

*At this point I will also estimate the final cost of the project. Each project is priced on an individual basis. I factor in time, size, medium, level of detail, etc., to estimate a total for each specific project.

4. Once you have approved my plan for the project, I can begin

* Any additional changes or alterations to the project that you would like me to add after it is aproved and begun will be charged at an hourly rate, not included in the original estimate
