Penelope Milner portrait commissions

Commissioned portraits in pastel and oil

A first session will last around two hours. This gives me a chance to get to know the model, to draw and take photos, we can discuss together ideas for the final painting.

The number of sessions needed depends on the size and complexity of the piece. For a small picture, two sessions are usually sufficient. These can take place either in my studio in Cazals or at a place of the client’s choosing. When working on children for example, it can be helpful for them to pose in a situation that is familiar to them. I will charge extra for travelling expenses.

In between sessions I build the portrait up from photos and my sketches.

I will ask a deposit of a third of the final price once we have agreed terms.
