For these I prefer to "my thing" and interpret what I think will work best and suggest a "best-size" fit. Sometimes bigger isn't better and sometimes bigger is the only way to go.

The Price is SQ,
Pencil on paper is the most cost effective choice as it is the fastest option. As well as black and white with colour (above) on canvas.
I will give you an estimation on the timeframe it will take and give an "about figure" in the form of a price range.
Depending on the brief, think in terms of 4 - 20 hours.
Watercolour, oil pastel and gouache on paper is in the mid price range and take longer to work in.
Depending on the brief, think in terms of 8 - 60 hours.
Oil paintings, oil with mixed media and coloured pencil (shown above) on canvas or other grounds are costly and more time intensive.
Think in terms of 20 - 200 hours.
Sitting "Live Portraits" are lifetime experience and as such are SQ.
When combined with photographs as a hybrid painting, this offering remains something that is, quite literally, one-of-a-kind'

Framing and courier fees that are arranged by me are charged for separately. If you opt for me to do the framing, and have a particular look in mind, please be specific about your wishes and send references pics where possible.
If you prefer, you are welcome to arrange your own courier and have your own framing done. I would recommend that portraits that need to travel are rather framed in your area.
Something useful to note:
Pencil portraits require glass when framing in order to keep their structure. I recommend using: "Artglass™ is coated with a special anti-reflective coating offering the supreme clarity, preserving the true color, texture and beauty of the framed artwork. Artglass™ offers a neutral reflection colour from all angles."
Oil paintings are usually framed without glass.
