COMMISSION A CONTEMPORARY PORTRAIT

COMMISSION PROCESS

Marcus can paint your portrait from a photograph, from life, or a combination of both. Sittings from life take weeks and in some cases months so most people prefer to have portraits painted from photographs. In some instances, a photograph you provide may be suitable but usually, Marcus will organise a photography shoot with you to capture the perfect reference photograph for your portrait commission. During a detailed consultation to discuss commissioning your portrait painting, Marcus will explain his process and learn all about your vision for the portrait.

​

The time a portrait painting takes will depend on the complexity of the work but usually, you need to allow several months for your portrait painting to be completed.

​

The first step to commission a portrait is to schedule a call or meeting with Marcus.
