About Couple Portraits
I treat every couple portrait as a study of your unique chemistry, focusing on the subtleties like the way fabric drapes or the specific light in your eyes to ensure the piece feels alive. Before final delivery, I share 2-3 progress updates with you, including the initial sketch and base layers, to ensure every detail, from expressions to background elements, aligns with your vision.
My process begins with a careful consultation to select the best reference photo, as the quality of the source image directly impacts the depth I can achieve. Because I use museum-quality, heavy-body acrylics on gallery-wrapped cotton canvas, these pieces are designed for longevity and clarity. For couple commissions, I pay specific attention to intricate details like Zari work on sarees, the texture of a suit, or the subtle jewelry rendering, ensuring the realism holds up even on larger 24 by 30 inch canvases.
The timeline for a couple portrait typically spans 20 to 25 days. During this period, you will receive visual updates on the sketch, the development of the figures, and the final rendering. I provide a Certificate of Authenticity with every finished commission, documenting the work as an original, hand-painted piece. If you have specific background preferences, such as a scenic outdoor view or a minimalist studio gradient, I work with you to finalize that layout before the painting begins. Every portrait is finished with a non-yellowing archival varnish to protect the surface for years to come.
