(… and Artist Bob no longer does three or more people on the same canvas / support panel.)

You supply “good” photos** and give Bob about four months to finish your portrait from start to finish. First come, first served. IF you are in the ABQ area Artist Bob prefers that he will to do a photo shoot with you with his camera (at no additional charge). It’s up to him. (** and Artist Bob reserves the right to decline the project iof the photos are of poor quality.)

It takes Artist Bob about four months to complete an oil portrait. Oil is a slower process.

For new human oil portraits, the support/panel is of the finest quality : a panel covered with Belgian Linen Archival -- See the page about this. OR it is an aluminum panel that has been carefully prepared for portraiture. It’s totally up to Artist Bob as to which panel he will use. Lastly, Artist Bob doesn’t do acrylic human oil portraits at this time, only oils.

Portraiture is a process. Upon completion of painting you will be sent a digital photograph of the final art. Satisfaction is guaranteed. After you are satisfied the remainder of the cost is due and payable (and shipping and handling fee if you live outside of Metro Albuquerque, NM). If after 1-2 correction attempts you are still not satisfied, Artist Bob will keep the painting and the client will not pay for the remainder of the cost of the painting. This has never happened yet. Artist Bob reserves the right on type and size of canvas/support board, depending on the subject and background (if any) -- could be a 11” x 14”, 12" x 16", 16" x 20", or 18" x 24" or other size.

If it is bigger than an 18” x 24” (and this will be pre-agreed with you, the client, and Artist Bob) there will be additional costs : in materials, labor, and especially shipping. The biggest portrait Artist Bob has shipped recently was a 24” x 48” on aluminum panel, and that shipping cost (Sept. 2023) was approximately $460 (and Fed Ex was the least expensive.)

Lastly, if there are major changes, like a whole new background, there will be an additional labor charge (starting at $500 plus NMGRT).

Enjoy.
