Blog / 2017 / Surprise Portrait

June 12, 2017

When I take the reference photos for my portraits, I’m looking for this. It’s important to know what you will and won’t do for commission work, even if you sometimes go back on the rules you’ve determined for your practice. It helps you be more confident when talking with clients and when approaching the whole question of money and art.

You can hire me to paint a portrait for you! There are prints of Lucky Star’s portrait in my Redbubble shop.

Maybe this post made you think of something you want to share with me? Or perhaps you have a question about my art? I’d love to hear from you!
