Margaret Scanlan Portraits

portrait styles

 

The style of your portrait will depend on personal preference, price and the photograph on which the portrait is based.

The main considerations are media - pencil, coloured pencil, sepia, pastel or watercolour, whether the portrait is to be head and shoulders only, three quarter or full length and whether a background is to be included. There are examples of all styles in the portrait galleries

Portraits are price according to media, size and number of subjects. See price list for full details. There is no difference in price between head and shoulders, three quarter or full length portraits.
