By "two persons" I mean a double portrait - i.e. a couple, two kids, two best friends etc. represented together on the same page. Family or group portraits need a larger size.

Discount policy

The basic rule is that any extra person gets:

1. A fixed discount of 10 €

2. An added discount of 5-20 € depending on the style you choose.

Example: Family portrait* with five persons, around 17"x24" (43x60 cm)

Sketch style: base price 35 €, extra person discounted price 35-10-5=20 €, total amount 115 €
Pastel style: base price 60 €, extra person discounted price 60-10-10=40 €, total amount 220 €
Oil on canvas: base price 110 €, extra person discounted price 110-10-20=80 €, total amount 430 €

*Family portraits are a good way to add value and class to your living/working environment (whether it's home or office).

All portraits are head and shoulders and the sizes are approximate - if you would like a different size to the ones here please let me know.

Custom works

The pricing of these works is made on a time & complexity base. As an example, the portraits of the Manucci family (Rome, Italy) that were painted directly on their bedroom wall included a photo session, some research for the outfits and the frame design and a couple of weeks of work, for a total price of 600 Euro (about 770 USD).

How to order Don't send money until you see the job done !

1. Choose the style (sketch/pastel/oil) then show me your photo (by e-mail);

2. Give me some time to work. When it's done, I'll send you a photo of the completed job (by e-mail);

3. If you think it's a good portrait, send me my reward (Cheque, Postal/Money Order);

4. Receive your portrait at home (packing, shipping and insurance are included so the prices here are all you pay).

Note: At the time being (current orders) there is a waiting list. The average waiting time is 15 days. GOOD TIP in case you haven't got a photo yet: make a reservation first. Then you can take your time to get/shoot/find or choose your picture.
