In this post I outline what to expect when sitting for a portrait done from life. As it turns out, the procedure is very easy whether the final result is an oil painting or a drawing. I also discuss why one would want to sit for a portrait and own one in our modern age.

Portraits from Photos: What to Expect When Commissioning a Portrait from Dorian Vallejo
Commissioning a portrait from Dorian Vallejo is a collaborative process that begins with a discussion of your budget, size, and composition preferences. Dorian will then take photos of the subject, or use photos that you provide, to create a finished painting. The process typically takes several months, and Dorian will keep you updated throughout the process, sending you photos of the painting for your approval.
