Your own piece of history:
When you comission the Cyber Artist to
paint a portrait or a subject from your own reference material, you are comissioning an
individual piece of artwork which is quite unlike any photograph you may have. |
A painting will outlast a photograph, when the latter fades in time or becomes disgarded or mislaid. Each portrait is unique - even if you were to order two identical studies they would still be different. A well-cared-for portrait will almost certainly survive the ravages of time far longer than their subject, and captures a moment which lasts virtually forever. |
The skill of the artist also allows for selective editing of a
photograph. This makes it possable to 'edit out' unwanted elements that may impinge
on an otherwise "perfect" picture. As long as enough information is avaliable to the artist and the benefit of logical reasoning dictates, then this is a service which the Cyber Artist is willing to put on offer. |
Adaptations:
Multiple
reference material. Providing more than one photograph gives the Artist the opportunity to study the subject from another perspective, allowing her to build up far more depth and dimension in the finished work than could be achieved from only one source material. Another good reason (demonstrated in this piece) points out that although the portrait was mostly based on the reference in the forground, it was the (earlier) picture behind this which was used as a colour match, and that best indicated the correct eye shade. |
Colour tone: Working from the photographic reference mutually chosen during a consultation between the Artist and the client, the finished study (left) was presented for final approval. It was at this stage that the client asked for a deeper colour depth which would emphasise 'Poppy' during an earlier period in her life. |
I want to comission a work. What do I do next?
