Family Portraits Commission Information
This portrait was commissioned by Doug and Kim (USA) and it is a scene from their beautiful wedding in Long Beach California. It was commissioned as a gift for their 1st wedding anniversary which is a paper anniversary. On this page you can see stages of the portrait Nick took when drawing, the final wedding portrait, the reference photos Nick worked from and also some emails during our correspondence. I hope you enjoy this page of information and if you would like to commission us to paint your pet don't hesitate to email us at any time.
The Family Portrait in Progress
We try to make sure we take a number of photos of the portrait during the day and display them on our portraits in progress blog for our clients to see. We have daylight easel lamps which allow us to see the painting in pure natural light, and sometimes this lighting effect the photos that we take. This can account for tonal differences between each stage and the final scan below. 
The Pencil Drawing with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large drawings we take photographs of the artwork using a Sony DSLR camera, a tripod and two diffused photography lights. Our scans and photographs are always perfect quality if clients require giclee prints of their hand drawn portrait for friends or family.
Client Family Portraits Reference Photos
Our clients email a range of photographs for us to work with, we use one for the main pose of the portrait and others for detail, backgrounds etc
Client Comments and Feedback
We are always thrilled to read our clients emails, we are in touch with clients via email and sometimes via telephone, skype and texts throughout the entire process. Clients also leave us messages on our portraits in progress blog when they are watching their portrait in progress and also comment on our facebook page too. We try to add snippets of their emails here for you to read, plus you can see more photos of happy clients with the portraits in our client feedback section too.
