我们提供什么

We are thrilled to announce that we now offer portrait commissions by Grant Milne, which will be showcased digitally in Times Square. To begin with, you will receive a custom-made portrait. However, you have the choice between two options for this.

选项 1 - 油画 - 每幅肖像 3,500 英镑

or

选项 2 - 数字绘画 - 每幅肖像画 1,900 英镑

（请注意 - 绘画尺寸 - 作品尺寸为宽 26 厘米，高 34.5 厘米，带边框。如需更大的画作，需支付额外费用。）

What sets digital painting apart from oil painting?

首先，我们来看一下它们的相似之处。两件作品尺寸相同，并将采用标准画框呈现。需要注意的是，下图所示的画框并非最终画框。

Now, let's discuss the distinctions. The oil painting, in particular, will require more time as it needs to dry for a full 12 months upon completion. After that, we apply a varnish before sending it out. It is important to note that the oil painting itself should not exceed a 4-month completion timeframe before the drying process begins. Consequently, kindly anticipate the delivery of the painting within a span of 16 months.The oil painting will be exquisitely crafted on a stunning canvas, using only the finest quality oil paints.

这幅数码绘画作品仅需一个月即可完成。作品采用最新的数码技术，精美地打印在 Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm 纸张上，这是一款全球知名的喷墨打印美术纸。这种白色棉纸因其独特的毡状纹理而备受追捧，为每幅作品增添了迷人的三维效果，并增强了作品的整体深度。此外，哑光喷墨涂层确保了卓越的打印质量，展现出鲜艳的色彩和饱满的黑色。此外，这种纸张不含木质素和酸，非常耐用且耐老化。

Which option would you recommend: digital or oil?

If budget and time are not constraints, we highly recommend opting for the oil painting. With its superior quality, you will enjoy an abundance of intricate details and vibrant colors. While both options are exceptional, the oil painting stands out as the superior choice, as it not only preserves its value but tends to appreciate in the market.

创作肖像画的过程是怎样的？

The process for creating a portrait involves several steps that require careful attention to detail and skillful execution. First, Please send us a variety of photographs featuring the person you would like us to paint. If you wish us to personally meet the individual, this is an option available at an additional expense.

Once the reference photo or sitting is complete, the artist moves on to the next step which involves sketching the basic outline of the subject. This stage allows the artist to establish the proportions and composition of the portrait, ensuring an accurate representation. It requires a keen eye for detail and a steady hand to capture the subject's likeness.

After the initial sketch is complete, the artist begins to add layers of color and shading to bring the portrait to life. This is where the artist's skill and creativity truly shine as they carefully choose the colors and techniques that will best capture the subject's personality and essence. Each stroke of the brush or pencil is intentional and contributes to the overall effect of the portrait.

Throughout the process, the artist constantly refers back to the reference photo or the subject to ensure accuracy and to capture the subtle nuances of their features. This attention to detail is what sets a truly exceptional portrait apart from a mere likeness.

当艺术家对最终效果感到满意时，肖像会被装裱或以某种方式呈现，以展现其美感和精湛的工艺。这最后一步至关重要，因为它能让肖像得以展示和欣赏，进一步使人物的肖像和遗产永垂不朽。
