Two Hour Portraits

A two-hour portrait sitting is where the subject is painted from life in a span of two hours with one ten-minute break. From start to finish it takes about 3 hours of your time. It is, at the root, a practice of confident and creative strokes with a rendered likeness at a quick pace. Painting from life is a preferred method, as it will depict a more genuine and life-like quality that is not replicated with the flattening quality of a photograph. It is recommended to have a live sitting for the two-hour portraits.
