PARTICIPATING PORTRAIT ARTISTS
Peter Arguimbau, Betsy Ashton, Kelly Birkenruth, Carol Boynton, Grace DeVito, Susan Durkee, Nanette Fluhr, Sonia Hale, Jeanine Jackson, Claudia Post, Ed Salazar, Manu Saluja, Joseph Sundwall, Cindy Wagner, and Joyce Zeller.
Know a celebrity, community leader, or private individual who would like to have multiple artists paint their portrait in one sitting? Purchase of one or more images from a 3-hour model session is optional but not required. Arrangements may also be made with an individual artist to create a more formal, fully rendered portrait after the event. This is a terrific opportunity to learn about this classic art form and meet professional painters. A portrait program can also be customized for fundraising, corporate, and special events. Email your request or recommendation to CSOPA [email protected] or call Jeanine Jackson 203-856-4713
We each focused on accomplishing one or two things: character, likeness, color, value pattern, design. In a formal portait that requires up to a hundred hours to complete, all of these elements come together. Click above to scroll gallery.
