Successful portraits are a true collaboration between client and artist. Before Sarah begins a painting, she confers with the client to discuss the size, spirit, and details of the portrait, such as the number of subjects, appropriate background, where it will hang, clothing to be worn, etc.
Sarah will paint a brief oil sketch of the sitter(s) to get accurate hair, eye, and skin coloring. Then she will take photographs to explore pose, expression, styling, and background. This session can be scheduled at Sarah’s studio in Chesapeake or at a location of your choice.
There are usually 25 to 50 photographs taken at this time in various poses and lighting. After reviewing the results together on a laptop computer, the final composition of the painting is decided.
Sarah will consider working from a family photo if it is at least an 8" x 10" and preferably taken in natural lighting without a flash. For posthumous portraits, Sarah will help select appropriate photo reference from personal or public archives.
Sarah will create the painting in her Virginia studio using the finest materials on premium linen canvas, resulting in a portrait that will last for many generations.
