To ensure the best possible outcome and quality for your commissioned portrait, Patricia Haskins McWilliams follows a distinct procedure. Not only does this allow the artist to meet her subjects and become familiar with their traits and personalities, it encourages communication and sets expectations for the painting.
Procedure
Ms. McWilliams comes to the client’s location for a photography session, which takes approximately two hours. A broad range of photos will be taken, to ensure multiple angles, backgrounds, expressions and features are captured.
After photographing the subject, the artist then returns to her studio to select an appropriate pose and devise the composition. The artist will provide a general timeline for completion.
Upon completion, the artist makes arrangements for the portrait to be delivered to the client.
