After initial contact, and you pick a size + style i.e. ( oil sketch, formal painting etc.) I will talk to you about the reference. Obviously, there are times when your photo is all that you have and I will be honest if I can use my talent to creatively enhance and bring to life your project or beloved animal.
I would love to work with you at my studio or your location and have had many such memorable visits. This is not a requirement, however the best paintings have a direct relationship to the quality of the reference.
Communication with me is best done through EMAIL using digital files, as I have invested in quality scanning and printing equipment.
Turnaround time will be discussed as per your requirement and my schedule. My experience as a New York Illustrator has given me the gift of honoring deadlines.
