Portrait paintings or drawings depict the actual picture of an individual, or at least a group of people, usually of animals. The subject of such a portrait, however, is typically known as a "subject" because historically people would often sit for their portrait to have it painted by the portrait painter themselves. If you are interested in getting a portrait painting done for yourself or someone else, you need to know what to expect before you start your search for the right artist. Here are some things that you should keep in mind when looking for someone to do portrait paintings for you:

What sort of paints are you interested in having painted? There are different kinds of paints that are used to create portraits. Traditional oils were used until the nineteenth century, but today watercolors and acrylic paints are more popular. Traditional oils and watercolors can fade over time, so it is important to make sure that you find a company that offers guarantees on their paints. Also, if you have any concerns about fading in the future, find out if they also offer a guarantee on the work of the painting contractor that you choose to use.

Do you have any ideas about the person portrayed in the portrait painting? When people are hired to sit for a portrait painting, they usually have some information prepared (such as the person's name and address) so that you can contact them later for any questions that you might have. Some people may be hesitant to give their personal information online, especially if it means that their face will be seen online. If you do want to see a person's face online, you might consider hiring a professional to supervise the portrait painting process and to keep your child or children from seeing anything that you might consider offensive.photo canvas
