Portrait from photos- Photographs offer boundless possibilities
for creative poses, expressive gestures, and subtle detail. You may furnish
your own photograph of the pose you'd like painted, or have a private
photo session with the artist at your favorite spot on Kauai.

Sketch from life - On Kauai, you can experience a
live portrait sitting with isa Maria. She completes a bright, colorful
sketch
of your likeness while you pose. The direct interaction with the artist
provides a fun and dynamic connection that shines through in the portrait.

Pastels - Your drawing will
be rolled up and mailed to you in a tube for $10.00. Pastels, like chalk,
will smear when anything touches them. Once out of the mailer tube, it's
best not to roll up your pastel again. I recommend opening your tubed
drawing at the frame shop. After being matted and framed behind glass,
it is permanently preserved and won't fade.
Oils - Your painting will
be packed in a professionally custom-built container at a cost of the
length plus the width of the stretched canvas (Example: an 18 x 24" costs
$42.00 to pack) add Fedex cost to ship.
Oils won't fade or smear, and
framing is optional. It is recommended that after six months of drying
time, an oil painting be coated with varnish for a glossy finish and
easy cleaning. High quality varnishes are available at art
supply stores and can be sprayed or brushed on.
