Add 50% of the above price for each additional figure. Travel,
framing, tax and shipping expenses are in addition to the
prices listed above. Sizes are approximate.
A signed contract and a deposit of 50% is required prior
to beginning the portrait. The balance is payable upon acceptance
of the completed work.
The portrait procedure begins with a discussion between the
artist and client at either the clients location or the artist's
studio. During the time, the mood, setting, size and medium
and price of the portrait is decided.
Mr. Beal then holds one and possibly two photographic sessions
of about two hours. He may also do some quick sketches to
capture likeness and characteristics of the subject. The artist
then selects three to five photographs to be used as references
and discusses them with the client. With the client's approval,
the artist proceeds with the portrait at his studio.
An approximate date of completion is given - usually two
to three months after the portrait is started.
Pencil sketches and roughs that are completed as part of
the preliminary work for a portrait can be purchased for additional
fees.
