A seamless commission, start to finish.
From consultation to delivery, our team guides you through every step, so the creation of a fine portrait is a considered and enjoyable experience.
- 01
Consultation & Design
A portrait advisor discusses your expectations and helps you plan the commission — the subject, the size, the framing, and the photographs to work from.
- 02
Reference Photographs
You provide reference photographs of the subject. We advise on pose and selection, and can compose a portrait from several photographs where subjects were captured separately.
- 03
Development of the Portrait
Your artist develops the portrait in oil upon archival canvas. Your advisor keeps you informed as the work progresses.
- 04
Proof & Approval
You review the portrait in its final stages and request any adjustments. No portrait leaves the studio without your approval.
- 05
Delivery
The finished portrait is prepared, protected, and delivered to you.
Typical duration: most commissions are completed within 2–4 weeks of the composition being agreed, depending on the artist and the scale of the work.
