As each assignment is somewhat different with regard to the difficulty level, giving an exact price quote here is difficult.  I will give more concrete prices upon being contacted for a commision. 

Here are general estimates to use for comparison purposes:

Head and Torso - One Person Only - Vague Background - Minimal Clothing Detail

                                                                                      Pencil                             Oil

12" x 16" thru 16" x 20" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .          $100                            $300

Each additional figure in same piece . . . . . . . . .               50                             100

Obviously, larger paintings and more detail will increase the price.

I have worked largely from photographs.  These can be ones you already have or I can arrange to take appropriate photos for the commission.

After we have discussed the assignment and come to an agreement, I will require 25% of the fee up front with the remainder due upon completion.

The length of time involved will be dependent upon the difficulty level but can generally be measured in weeks for smaller pieces and months for larger, more detailed pieces.
