2004 COMMISSIONED PORTRAITS PRICING & FINE ART PRINTS
|
|
| Personalized Portraits may be commissioned and range from simple studies $400, to $20,000 for fully rendered large format oil paintings. Prices of Portraits depends upon level of detailing, size of the piece, complexity (single or multiple subjects, background features and medium. |
|
| Your needs and desires for personalized portraiture will be individually discussed with the artist and his representative in a conveniently scheduled appointment. All understandings and agreements are written up in a formal contract. |
|
| Given this, a few general pricing parameters can be stated: |
|
| All fully rendered painted portraits begin with portrait studies, informal sketches, possibly from different angles or in different mediums. These studies are done from a combination of live sittings, (posing for the artist), and photographs. The balance and combination of these two approaches is at the artist’s discretion, and takes into account both practical factors and creative choices. |
|
| Portrait studies in themselves are meaningful, intimate works of art, with heirloom value. Examples can be seen in Marek Buchwald’s portfolio during a private appointment. |
|
| BEFORE FULLY RENDERED PORTRAITS ARE EVEN DISCUSSED, IT IS ADVISABLE TO FIRST CONTRACT FOR A PORTRAIT STUDY, OR SERIES OF STUDIES. |
|
| While factors vary, the range generally is $400 - $1500. There is no obligation to take the any further, and the Collector still ends up with a very intimate, personalized informal portrait study. This is a kind of “pay-as –you –go” approach, that is low risk and highly satisfying for the Collector as you become part of the creative decision making process! |
