HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
That depends on how much work is involved. There are three factors that affect price: media, size and complexity.
MEDIA: Color is more work than black and white. An acrylic painting is more difficult than a pastel drawing. Examples of all of these types of media can be viewed on this web site. Feel free to look around and see what you might like. If there's a posted work that you particularly like the style of, feel free to mention it in your request.
SIZE: I usually try to keep to standard mat and framing dimensions for the convenience of the customer. Obviously, an 8" x 10" will cost considerably less than a 20" x 30" poster. But please keep in mind that excessively small works or miniatures can be tricky and therefore more expensive.
COMPLEXITY: A face is less complex than an entire figure. One portrait is less complex than a family grouping. People are harder to get a likeness for than animals, etc. The more complex the commission, the more work, the more it will cost.
