Seller's description

This is a handmade pastel portrait. A portrait painting of a nice boy with special green eyes...
To do my children portraits and my Pastel portraits in general, I use the better Pastel bars and the best materials.

All the custom portrait samples you can see in my shop come from real persons who commissioned a Pastel portrait from me.
I always start an open dialogue by mail with my clients to know exactly what they want and what their needs are.
The pictures are very important to make a good portrait (a portrait from a photo). Better the picture, better the final result. I usually ask my clients to send me different images of the subject so we can choose together the better one. This also allows me to get better into the subject personality. A smile is not always required In order to make a good portrait painting. But the lights, size, and colours in the picture are very important. It's not the same a light needed for a child portrait as the light for an old man or lady. Big size pictures or digital files allow me to get into the details more than small images.

The most common sizes I use on my paintings are 19,5 x 19,5 inches (50 x 50 cm) for a single portrait, or 19.5 x 27,5 inches (50 x 60cm) for double portrait. Anyway, the picture usually defines the size, so the sizes are guidance measures. If you need a special size or requirements just let me know.
Once the portrait is finished it is sprayed with a professional Pastel Fixative, which will protect the painting for the years to come. Then it is very well packaged for shipping.
The process to make a single Pastel Portrait takes between one to two weeks but I have my working agenda prepared for the next one or two months ahead. Sometimes I am overbooked, so it could take a little more. In any case, if you need the painting for a special day or occasion, please let me know so I can adapt my agenda for you and make the portrait on time.

I do not charge in advance on "Simple Head and shoulders portraits".
Prior to mailing your portrait, I will send you a digital photo for your review. This is your chance to suggest any changes and comment on the portrait. If you are satisfied with the portrait after viewing the photo you can make the payment.
For other commissions like "Full body portraits", Large size portrait paintings, very detailed portraits, Double portraits, etc., 40% (non-refundable) of the budget is required in advance.

But PLEASE, be very sure you really want to commission a Pastel portrait from me before starting the project. And that you really like the picture we are choosing for the work. The expression, the colour, the composition, etc.
I don´t want to lose my time or yours, and I take my work and art very seriously.
There is no point in commissioning a portrait from me if you have practical or emotional doubts about me, my style, the photo, or my artistic capabilities.
You can take a look at my portfolio to get a better idea of my body of work and my art or visit my website.

Clients are involved from beginning to end of the process so feel free to contact me with​ any questions or doubts.

Why this review appears

“The portrait came out even more beautiful than I imagined. The preview that Graciela sends on here doesn't do it justice compared to when you see the portrait in real life. We will cherish this art for years to come!”
