Portraits in Oils
My process requires sittings from life in order to produce a portrait which reflects my best work in terms of colour, composition and connection with the subject. In exceptional circumstances, such as children, I will work from my own photographs (but never from somebody else’s). Occasioanally I will combine life sittings with work from photos. Sitters usually enjoy the process of working with the artist and seeing the painting evolve.
To give a rough idea of the time involved, a head and shoulders portrait from life may be completed in a day if necessary or over 2 or 3 separate shorter sittings. A Three Quarter Length portrait may take 3 to 4 days in the sitter’s home or 6 shorter sittings if painted over a longer period of time. Sittings can be arranged at the artist’s studio or the client’s home.
Please contact Norman Long with all questions – I shall be happy to discuss your requirements.
