The Artist Chrystaloff Natalia (ChN) has been successfully working in the portrait genre for a long time using all known techniques, including oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, pencil.

Regardless of the technique chosen by the customer, work on a portrait can be carried out both from life and photo.

With a comparable result, the cost of a portrait from life is higher due to the need of renting a studio or interior suitable for posing, which complicates logistics and causes more time spends from not only the artist, but also her model or models, in case of a group portrait. This is why customers most often go for portraits from photo. As long as it is of good quality and meets all the necessary requirements.

The price of a portrait consists of the artist's work, cost of materials and extra costs which result based on customer's wishes. For example, a non-standard size of a painting on canvas will increase its cost due to the necessity of ordering a custom stretcher, and the suggestion of "putting a finished portrait in a frame" will raise the price tag by not only baguette workshop services, but also a certain number of additional hours spent by the artist directing and controlling the entire process.

In order to make it easier for customers to get an idea of the portrait prices, we have developed a simple table with the basic prices of creating an intimate (up to the waist, on a neutral background) individual portrait of a rectangular or square format, depending on size and media, including the cost of materials involved:

Obviously, portraits can be double, triple or group; have non-standard sizes, be oval or round (so-called "tondo") and created in any other, for example, mixed technique or media. In all cases, the price is determined for a specific task, based on all the introductory data received.

Please fill out this form and send it to us so that we can calculate the cost of creating your portrait.
