FAQ - Oil Portrait Painter New York, Custom Portrait Artist Connecticut, Hire, Price - Carol Tambor - Traditional Oil Painter



	1 - How do I begin?
	We set up an appointment to review your needs, look at my portfolio, or see paintings in person, if possible. If you are outside the New York area, you can call or e-mail me.

	2 - Can you work with photographs?
	Yes. I can work with existing favorite photos, or I can take my own. I enjoy taking several rolls of photos so that I am sure to get enough natural light, changes of expression, etc. For the photos, only about an hour is necessary. I can take dozens of images in about that time.

	3 - Is it necessary to sit very long?
	Very few subjects seem to have the time, or desire, to sit for the entire process. If possible, I love to sketch my subject or, at least, correct coloration in the end. Each sitting can vary from 1 to 3 hours.

	4 - Can I give a portrait as a gift?
	Yes. I can handwrite a card with my self portrait on one side and on the reverse a message such as "You have been given the gift of a custom portrait from ...." If you have a favorite photo of the recipient, I can present a preliminary sketch with the card.

	5 - Do I see a sketch first?
	Yes. I do a preliminary sketch to show composition and expression, for your approval. Color choices are made at this time.

	6 - When do I pay?
	If you approve the sketch, you pay 30% of the total price and you will receive the sketch as well as the painting.

	7 - How much do you charge?
	Please see "Prices" for all the details.

	8 - How long is the process?
	You can expect a sketch within 2-3 weeks. If you have a deadline for a gift, I can often speed this up. After approval of the sketch, the painting can usually be completed in 1 month.

	9 - Can you make any changes?
	Yes. You can request adaptation at no charge. I want you to be deliriously happy with the painting and will work with you until you are. If, by any chance, you do not want the commissioned painting, there will be no further charge.

	Any other questions? Please e-mail me at carol@caroltambor.com or telephone 917-270-2899.
