Procedures

 

Having a portrait painted is a very important undertaking for both artist and client. A portrait will last for many generations, long after the family photos have faded or turned to dust. Regardless of its simplicity or complexity,
Ann Lohmann always strives to create an heirloom quality painting
of the highest standards.

A portrait is a collaboration of the artist and client. The first step is to initiate the co-creative process with a discussion of the scope of the portrait and determine the price. Ann will do her best to accommodate both your vision and your budget.

Prices are based on the following factors: number of people in the painting, how the subject is cropped, the size of the portrait, as well as the inclusion of intricate clothing, complex background settings, and the addition of props or animals.

Prices do not include artist’s travel expenses, framing costs, shipping fees or state/city sales taxes, where applicable. A 40% non-refundable deposit is required when the decision to proceed is made.

The final payment is due upon delivery and acceptance by the client.
  Prices subject to change.
