| Zlatina paints commissioned portraits mostly from photos. She doesn't
try to produce exact duplicates of the photographs. Zlatina is interested
in the character, the biography and the emotional life of the person
and she looks for unique ways to express them.
At the initial meeting or by phone/email, the client and Zlatina will discuss: medium, size of the canvas, clothing, color preferences, background, atmosphere and lighting. If the client and the artist meet in person, they will look through Zlatina's portfolio of portraits and the client will share what he/she likes. Zlatina will paint the portrait from the client's favorite photograph. She needs professional or amateur photos of very good quality. After the client and the artist agree on concept, portrait cost and the date of delivery, they have to sign a contract - commissioned portrait agreement. A 30% non-refundable deposit is required at contract signing. The finished portrait is a subject for the client's approval. The artist will email photo files of the painting. Depending on medium, size, number of subjects and background, fees
range from $400 - $6000. Life size three-quarter figure, including hands, in oil/ acrylic & pastel - $4000. The artist doesn't paint life size full-length commissioned portraits. Each additional figure add 50%. For detailed backgrounds there will be an additional fee. The prices don't include framing and shipping. |
