To commission a portrait
Josonia Palaitis is one of Australia's most sought
after portrait painters. She paints her portraits in oils and works
consistently for several months on one painting at a time. Dedication
to the undertaking of a major work and the many, often subtle processes
involved, allow her to forge a meaningful connection with her subject,
which in turn enables her to portray a true sense of character.
When it is decided that a portrait will
proceed, the artist takes a variety of photos of the subject.
From these she develops several watercolour studies which show
possibilities for the final painting. These ideas can be discussed
with the subject before beginning work on the portrait. The portrait
is painted entirely in the artist's studio using the photographic
reference.
Enquiries about having a portrait painted
by Josonia Palaitis are handled by her representatives at Hardware
Fine Art in Sydney.
