Portrait Procedure

 

Mr. Sergei Trubnik's & Mr. Boris Volshov's & Mr. Michail Chapiro's extensive experiences in portraiture allow them to work comfortably from life or from photographs. When working strictly from photos is necessary, in the instances when clients have busy schedules or with children for whom it is difficult to sit for extended periods, or for posthumous portraits and those commissioned as a surprise, the 3 artists apply their knowledge of working from life, also acquired through in-depth academic training, which is recognized by generations of artists to be essential in the formation of the strong artistic skill.

The great portrait stands far beyond photography. Therefore, the 3 artists do not copy a photograph, but successfully uses a large selection of photographs as portrait references, applying their natural understanding of anatomy, colors, light and composition to achieve a remarkable and full of character life-like likeness.

The initial meeting with the client usually takes two and a half hours and is scheduled at the artist's studio or the client's location. At this initial meeting, the overall idea, size and location where the portrait will be hung are discussed. If photographs of the subject are required, the artist will take several rolls of film at this time and as well, do live graphite character studies.

Any photos provided by the client will be returned upon portrait completion.

A 40% deposit is required during the preparation session, with the balance due upon acceptance of the final product.
