Karen Dryer can turn one of your favorite photographs into a work of art!
Once you decide to commission a portrait, we will discuss who your subject is and review photos you would like to use. Some photos make great portraits and others do not work as well. Once we decide on a photo to base the portrait on and I receive your deposit I will get straight to work creating your masterpiece!
The average portrait takes from 2 to 4 weeks to complete.
I offer portrait painting in two choices of media: pastel and watercolor.
Portraits make wonderful gifts for the special people in your life and are also a wonderful gift for yourself to honor those people and animals that are special to you!
