FAMILY PORTRAIT PAINTINGS

                                

"THANK YOU FOR OUR PORTRAIT, IT TRULY CAPTURES OUR FAMILY"

~ client testimonial

From the Artist

Thank you for your interest in commissioning a portrait of your family. Family Portraits have become a specialty of sorts, and recently I was awarded "Best of Rhode Island" for this work.  They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I would add to that, a good portrait, one of the most demanding and rewarding of paintings, is worth a thousand pictures. 


It is an honor to be creating work that will be passed down from generation to generation, capturing not only the members of a family, but their interaction in places they love. I look forward to speaking with you about your family's portrait..


Sincerely,  David Schock

HOW TO COMMISSION A FAMILY PORTRAIT PAINTING


Commissioning  a portrait is usually found to be an enjoyable process by all.


 The  sitting process involves getting together and my creating reference  images, which may include sketches and usually photos (this is almost  always the case with portraits of children). Then one or two small composition studies will be done and sent to the client within a few weeks, giving the idea for the  composition for the painting. 


After approval of this sketch by the  client, work begins on the final painting. This usually will be  completed within three to six months of the initial sitting. 


Payment is  1/2 at the initial sitting,  and 1/2 at completion of the portrait (delivery).   


Your  input into the process is welcome. I have never had a commission where  those closest to the subjects of the painting did not have valuable  suggestions about the portrait.  Your input is welcome as part of a collaborative effort, with your happiness with the final work as our  shared goal.
