Commissioning a portrait
Prices vary for a medium sized portrait, according to whether it is head, head and shoulders, waist up, three quarters or full length. It also depends on whether it is an acrylic or oil painting, executed in pastel, a print or a drawing – and how many people are to be depicted.
Some artists work only from life (with up to six morning or afternoon sittings required in your home or in their studios) some from a combination of life and photographs. Prices are tailored to individual needs and the process is a collaboration between artist and sitter. Typically a head in oil or acrylic might start from £600 and prices rise to around £4,000.
