HOW LONG WILL A PORTRAIT COMMISSION TAKE?

The timing of each artwork depends on the following criteria:

• Prior Commitments such as other commissions, exhibitions, workshops and more
• Style of the artist.  Realism will always take more time than line drawings and other styles of artworks.
• Size of artwork.  Larger Pieces usually take more more time than smaller artworks
• Type of art Medium.  Oil takes the longest as it needs to be completely dry before you can add a layer varnish or have it couriered to it destination
• Intricacy of the details.  More details = more time
• Difficulty of subject matter.  Portraits are among the most difficult subjects as it needs to be 100% precise.  Therefore, it will usually take much longer than still-life and simplistic landscapes.
• Last but not least other intricacies involved like whether it is a life sitting or if there a photoshoot involved can play a role in the time it takes from start to finish.
