This certificate completely covers commission costs associated with and 11x14 "Gallery Canvas" portrait with full artistry. The session fees are also waived for both sessions. There is an hour-long creation session in the camera room in Lake Bluff. Their creation session is treated as a full session and there is no limit to who can be included. When the artist selections are prepared, they return to the studio for an hour-long projection session. The projection session is where the clients view their portraits and collaborate with the artist on the elements of finishes, artistry, and how to make their portrait remarkable. The photography work created by the studio is carefully executed so that it can be translated into our two flagship finishes. We create two different finishes: Gallery Canvas and Masterpiece. The Gallery Canvas is the more realistic finishing style.

It combines the reality of photography with the watercolor and acrylic media. The Gallery has been our most popular finishing styles for decades because of its detail and nuance in combining media. The result varies and is tailored to each client's needs, but it is always a stunning addition. The Masterpiece finish is the most whimsical and the finish that is furthest from reality. It involves oil, and acrylic media and is painted by reference of fine art photographs created by the studio. Both portrait finishes are archivally mounted so that they are solid pieces and better suited against damage. Each portrait is then coated with a protective lacquer for protection.
