I am working from photographs but you may ask for some special compositions, different clothes, new backgrounds, etc.
I am able draw and paint from life and I have worked as a police artist to sketch crime suspects in the past. So don't be curious about likeness of your portraits or my talent. But I am not painting or drawing live at this time. Unfortunatelly, having time to sit is not always possible or desirable for everyone. Especially I am making very high detailed artworks and painting nonstop for very long and weary hours. A good photo taken in natural light is a valuable tool and can create a beautiful portrait.

It is important to discuss the idea of the portrait: will it be with plain background or detailed background with furniture, garden, etc?

I will work in Ellicott City, Maryland.

Drawings are usually will be finished in a week, but oil paintings may need 15 days to a month. You can ask how much time it will take your ordering process.

I will prefer to show preliminary sketches and ask for your approval on complicated compositions only.

Please come back again to see new samples.
I am also available to draw and paint in different subjects. You can think about custom paintings subjects.
