The Custom Portrait Painting Process

Like most portrait artists, Aleksandra works from high-quality photographs. When possible, she prefers to take her own photos of the subject in order to capture the proper lighting and composition that would work best in a portrait. Aleksandra can work with you to arrange a photo shoot session at your home or any location you choose, or even here at her San Jose studio.

Another option is that you take photos yourself. Aleksandra will be happy to advise you on the setting, pose, light setup, and clothing.

Additionally, she can also work from high-quality photos you already have in your collection.

Regardless of who takes the photos, you will work along with Aleksandra to select a final reference photo together, based on your expectations and her experience as an artist.

From there, Aleksandra will get to work on the delicate task of creating a work of art that is sure to be awe-inspiring and encapsulating.

Her custom portrait painting has garnered recognition and has been honored with several awards for its originality and artistry. Browse Aleksandra’s oil painting gallery to see what makes her work truly unique, fill out the form below to send your art request and receive a free quote.
