PORTRAIT PROCEDURE, FEES & GUARANTEE:       
  •      Work is done from live sittings and/or from photographic materials in your
    choice of oil, acrylic, pastel, pencil or charcoal.  In the tradition of the Masters,
    Mike considers spending a few hours painting studies of a subject from life to
  • be the single most important ingredient in order to provide his best efforts.  
  • When a subject is available there is simply no substitution for some painting
  • time from life.
PORTRAITS BY McVAUGH are usually accomplished by a schedule of steps
similar to the following:
  •       First a client consultation is arranged.  Upon agreement to proceed, a 30%
    deposit is collected, and the initial preparation for a portrait is preferably
  • scheduled and accomplished at a subject's location.  
  •       Once the initial preparation is accomplished, which usually includes both
  • life studies and photographs taken of the subject, Mike returns to the studio
  • and, in most cases, is able to complete the portrait without need of any
  • additional painting time with a subject.
  •       Most oil portraits of one subject, up to a half-figure size of approximately
  • 30 x 36", are completed and ready for delivery in approximately 2 to 4 months
    from the date that Mike first photographs and/or paints the subject from life.  
    Portraits are completed using Mike's established working method, distinctive
  • style, and proven creative talents.
  •       Schedules and completion dates are as close to promised as humanly
    possible.  
  •       Workmanship, permanency of pigments, support and ground are of the
  • finest materials available.  
  •       Once a completed portrait is approved, the unpaid balance is usually due
  • in full.  Fees are made payable to Edwin S. McVaugh, Jr.
