Provide reference photos: Once you've selected an artist, provide them with reference photos of the property you would like to have rendered. These photos should include all angles of the property, including any unique or noteworthy features.
Discuss your preferences: The artist will work with you to discuss your preferences for the portrait, including the style, color scheme, and any specific details or features you would like to highlight. This is also the time to discuss the size of the portrait, the medium (e.g. oil painting, watercolor, digital rendering, etc.), and any other specific details.
Receive a draft of the portrait: The artist will typically create a draft of the portrait for you to review and provide feedback on. This is the time to make any adjustments or changes before the final portrait is completed.
Finalize the portrait: Once you have approved the draft of the portrait, the artist will complete the final version. This can take anywhere from several days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the project.
Delivery and payment: Once the portrait is completed, it will be delivered to you, and payment will be made according to the artist's payment terms. This can vary depending on the artist, but many require a deposit up front and full payment upon completion of the portrait.
