Portraiture Procedure

1. Choose a photo of the subject you wish to be captured. The quality of your pencil portrait is directly related to the quality of the photograph it is drawn from! Send your photo(s) via email RichardRomeroArt@yahoo.com or normal post (see bottom of page for address.) All printed photos will be returned.
2. Decide on which medium you would like for your portrait, graphite, charcoal or other. Decide the size of portrait.
3. If there is something you wish modified from the photo, note this.  If you need a group portrait but don't have a suitable photo, I can create your portrait from individual  photos.
4. Describe the nature and character of the subject.
5. After I know exactly what you want and we establish a price, I will start your portrait and email a digital image to you for your approval or any suggestions for change that you may have.
   approximate time to completion is three weeks from receipt of your photos.
6. When the client is fully pleased, the portrait will be delivered. The client will always have the option for minor corrections or changes to be made to the portrait. (adjustments are included in the purchase price).
