I mostly work in oil, but have experience in watercolor, pastel and graphite portraits. The very best works are done when working from life, but very fine pieces come from photographs. I will gladly work either way.<br /><br />The prices for my portraits will start at about $1000 and will depend on medium, size and what is included (head, head and shoulders etc).<br /><br />If you are interested in ordering a portrait, please email me at <a href="mailto:deborahallison@hotmail.com">deborahallison@hotmail.com</a> .
