Portraits by Commission

The first step to create your beautiful custom image will be a planning session to decide the location and mood for your portraits. This will be followed by a photography shoot, where Ray and judy will take several photographic images using various poses and angles which will be sorted and combined to develop the initial pose. Your approval is essential to proceed.

At this time the painting and creative process begins, your custom image will be given the special touch of the artist. When your painting is complete, it will be transferred to an electronic transfer process and commercially printed on archival 90 pound cold press watercolor paper. By having your image printed with a professional process, Horn Fine Art Imaging is able to offer you multiple duplicate images, perhaps you would like one a bit smaller for grandparents, or greeting cards for an upcoming graduation or Christmas. Portraits may also be developed from existing photographs, that wonderfully cute baby picture of long ago, or a photograph depicting a magical moment.

When your completed portrait has been process and printed, the final hand work takes place. You will be given several framing options at that time. Large portraits and art work prints, include a gift certificate toward framing from a local art gallery.

The price of your portrait includes all steps for development, the painting AND optional framing certificates. Our work is custom so please call us for the details of your particular work of art.
