Thank you for your interest in my portrait painting project. I am currently conducting a series of portrait studies that may later be developed into finished paintings.
📍 Studio Location
I am inviting interested models to visit my studio at 404, 1000 Parker St. for in-person posing sessions.
🖌️ About the Studies
These sessions focus on quick portrait studies, with an emphasis on mood, atmosphere, and presence rather than exact likeness! Portraits will be chest-up only.
Examples of my previous portrait work can be found below.
📿 Jewelry Element
For the final paintings, I plan to include a necklace element (fish-shaped). An example is shown here. I do not have the exact piece yet, but it would be helpful if models could bring a necklace of similar size and presence. Alternatively, models may choose to wear earrings with a similar shape or scale.
👕 Clothing
Choice of clothing is up to the model. The necklace may sit on the chest or over clothing. Please choose simple or no-pattern tops. Style can be modern, traditional, casual, or active. Models are welcome to bring multiple outfits and may change at the studio.
💇 Hair
Up to the model.
⏱️ Time Commitment
Each session will take approximately one hour (sometimes slightly longer, depending on setup time). Available time slots are listed below. Models are welcome—and encouraged—to come with a friend or another model, as this often makes the experience more comfortable and enjoyable.
🧍 Poses
Poses will last 5–10 minutes, with frequent breaks. For longer poses, models may talk and move slightly. Poses will include both standing and seated positions.
📷 Photography & Rights
During the session, I will take reference photographs for later transition to canvas. By participating, you consent to being photographed and to the creation of original artworks based on these images. These artworks may be exhibited or sold. Participation implies that the model waives any ownership or usage rights to the resulting artworks or images.
📅 Available Time Slots
