Before the sitting, Mr. Geary likes to discuss the ideas and goals for the portrait
with the client (see client letter). The artist usually requires only one sitting,
which takes approximately one hour or more, depending on the complexity of the
composition. At the sitting, he takes photographs and occasionally sketches in
pencil or oil. He then returns to his studio to work up a compositional sketch
in oil, which he sends to the client for approval. Then he proceeds to finish
the portrait.
The size of the canvas is set between the artist and the client and is not determined
by price. Dimensions are an aesthetic decision based on the subject (the attire
worn, the setting, the pose), and also the amount of wall space that the client
can allow for the portrait.
