Process
The thought of having your portrait painted is daunting to some people,
(not including children, who seem to thoroughly enjoy the process). Tonia
makes it as painless as possible by exploring the attributes and life
style of a subject in several ways. The first step is an initial one-hour
consultation with the client to get acquainted and discuss details of the
proposed portrait. Time spent in the subject¹s home or work space is most
advantageous. She may do a quick sketch in graphite or oils, take photos
for future reference or schedule a longer meeting.
At a subsequent meeting, a preliminary sketch of the final portrait is
submitted and approved. When the final painting begins, the subject
ideally sits for one-half to one-hour sessions, two to ten times,
depending on the subject¹s time constraints. Tonia has studio space in
Wisconsin, New York, California and at her home on Maui. If sittings are
not possible, she is able to paint directly from photographs and sketches
(posthumously if needed).
