Procedure Before he begins a painting, Mickle confers with the client to work out preliminary details such as the type of portrait desired, number of subjects, appropriate background, and clothing. He subsequently travels to the client's location and shoots a series of photographs, takes notes, and makes sketches as needed. A two-hour photographic session is usually adequate, even with multiple subjects. Mickle proceeds with the portrait in his Virginia studio. To keep the client involved in the creative process, he produces a full-size pencil sketch of his concept for the painting, which he sends to the client, along with reference slides of the subjects featured. He usually completes a portrait in six to twelve months, depending on his schedule and the complexity of the painting.
