A lifelong artist, I am a recent Master of Fine Art graduate specializing in watercolors. I am also skilled in graphite, charcoal, and collage. I have extensive experience painting portraits from photographs and I was classically trained in the Old Masters' style during my undergraduate at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. My work is realistic, yet playful and expressive, in a similar way as Gil Elvgren.
After I receive the photo reference material, I'd work up a pencil drawing and submit this to you (via email) for approval. If everything looks good, I'd continue with the painting, and submit this for approval (again via email). When you're happy with the result, the original as well as a high res digital version will be sent to you.
I look forward to hearing more about your project!
Best wishes,
Kathryn
