Building a House Portrait
Step 1
The first step after an estimate is agreed
upon is to photograph the house or to obtain reference from the client, especially if the location is not nearby.
Step 2
After photographing the home and conferring with my client I develop a tentative black and white sketch, which may include color swatches.
Step 3
Working in shapes and values and a lot of the landscape, I would share this step with my client for review and approval. At this point many changes can still be made.
Step 4
Filling in the shadows and finalizing the details, I would submit this to my client for approval, with small revisions still possible.
The final painting is delivered with a matte, and I can provide help with framing as well.
