Subject names/portrait title:

Please give me as much information as possible on this form, and attach other pages as necessary. This form expresses your vision and guidelines for the final piece, and each aspect will be carefully reviewed in our consultation, included in your customized ‘Contract to Commission’, and referenced throughout the painting process by the artist. The details that you provide here are essential! If you don’t currently have a photograph, but have an idea of what you’d like, please fill out the form and we’ll discuss your options in the consultation.

1. Tell me about the portrait that you’re envisioning. How many subjects? What type of background? Please attach the photograph(s) for consideration:

2. Tell me about the subject(s) in the portrait. Give me an idea of the personality and qualities that we’re trying to capture in each person or pet. Please include any special details or stories that would help me to get a feeling for the person/pet or home.

3. Are there special objects (such as clothing details/jewelry or special flowers/plants for home portraits) that you’d like to include? Consider any symbolism or special details that might make the portrait even more special to your family. Closer photographs of special clothing, jewelry, etc. are very helpful in establishing these details in the finished piece:

4. Tell me about your style, favorite paintings/artist, etc. Please feel free to send additional photos of your home and even of objects, ‘inspiration pieces’, or examples of the style of art that you like. (I have based portrait style on everything from the Old Masters to the cover of a 1960’s baby book.):

5. Where will you be hanging your portrait? Please send a description and/or photographs, as well as the overall size restrictions if applicable:
