## About Portraits: Capturing Your Memories on Canvas

Painting realistic portraits—whether it is a family memory or a pet—is a slow, deliberate process for me. Because I work primarily with oils, each layer needs specific drying time before I can move to the next, which is how I capture those fine details in the eyes and expressions. It is not an overnight job, so if you are planning this as a surprise for a birthday or anniversary, please reach out to me about three to four weeks in advance so I can give your piece the patience and attention it deserves.

### Turning Photos into Art
My approach to portraiture is about more than just matching a photo; it is about capturing a feeling. I love working with your memories—whether you have a specific family portrait you want immortalized, or you need me to combine figures from different photographs into one unified composition, like I did for a recent mother-baby painting. 

### Mediums and Techniques
I generally work with two primary mediums depending on the look you want:
* **Oil Paints:** These are my go-to for realism and depth. They allow for incredible blending, especially for capturing textures like fur in pet portraits or the soft light on a face. They require patience, but the finish is timeless.
* **Acrylics:** These are fantastic for vibrant, punchy colors. If you are looking for something slightly more impressionistic or stylized, acrylics work beautifully.

### How We Start
Every project begins with a conversation about what matters to you. Once we decide on the size and medium, I create a digital layout so we are both on the same page before I even touch the canvas. If you have a specific color palette in your home, let me know; I can often adjust the background tones of the portrait to make sure it fits perfectly with your decor. My goal is to create a piece that feels like a natural part of your home, not just a picture hanging on the wall.
