Prices for portraits, painted by photo

The prices listed here apply to 1 animal or person portrait or 1 other motif on a drawing or picture, with neutral background. I offer two versions of portrait painting. Stylized & Detailed. Below you can see the differences. Your photo decides which version is more suitable for your order. After reviewing the photo/s, I can give you a recommendation for the painting method, the format and the technique. Your wishes will of course be taken into account and included in the order.

Several motives & special formats

Each additional motif on a drawing or picture, costs 25% extra charge of the selected portrait size. This also applies to portraits with riders and detailed backgrounds.

In pencil and watercolor portraits a light gray or colored tone is always added as a background. The intensity or color is discussed with the client before. Elaborate backgrounds representing a scene costs 25% surcharge of the selected portrait size!
In the pastel and oil paintings, a full-surface colored background is created that matches the motif. The color and the intensity are also discussed. Elaborate backgrounds, which represent a scenery cost 25% extra of the selected portrait size!
