Commission Paula to create a masterpiece for you
All inquiries Email: [email protected]
Paula Novak has one of those rare gifts in art, the ability to paint photo-realistically and to capture the curves and proportions of the human body and face in every life-like nuance.
If you can imagine it, she can probably create it whether its a portrait of a loved one, a pet, a family group or something completely different based on your ideas and photographs.
Portraits
Have Paula Novak create a unique original custom painted portrait. This skilled artist has the passion and ability to represent not only the individual physical form of her subjects but capture the heart essence and character of that person, couple or group of people, creating a beautiful photo-realistic heirloom that will last for generations.
Paula's skills enable her to create a traditional portrait interpretation that captures individuals with photographic exactness or place her subjects into a storybook or surreal world of their own design with elements of fantasy and any background desired.
Procedure
No matter where you are in the world Paula Novak can create your masterpiece based on an email or phone discussion and a series of photographs, or sample images that indicate backgrounds or other items that you'd like to have in your painting.
Pricing
This will vary depending on what is required:
Portraits start at $895 for a black and white head shot approx. 15cms X 20cms
A full -coloured image (15cms X 20cms) starts at $980 (eg see ‘Frangipani Girl’)
Shipping costs, travel expenses (if required) and taxes are not included in the price.
Material
Paula uses boxed canvas, flat canvas and quality watercolor paper for her works. She uses premium acid free cotton duck canvas that has been sized with gesso. All stretched boxed canvases have a staple-free edge.
The watercolor paper is premium acid-free archival Bockingford.
The gsm (thickness) ranges from 150 – 300gsm.
Contract
A contract will be signed to ensure the agreement is adhered to by both parties. A draft drawing of the content must be approved by the client before Paula begins putting brush to canvas. Once the contract is settled and signed, Paula will sketch out the initial image agreed upon, and as soon as the client approves, a 50 percent downpayment is required. As soon as the painting is completed to the client’s satisfaction, the remaining 50 percent payment is to be paid to Paula Novak. The artwork is then carefully packaged and couriered to the client.
Packaging
All works are packaged carefully using bubblewrap and good cardboard.
This is an amazing opportunity to have a life-like original painting created by a professional artist with a world-class talent. This is something that you will treasure for the rest of your life.
Other Artworks
Paula is more than happy to create other personalised works besides portraits. Over the years she has worked closely with clients to produce a wide variety of paintings involving all kinds of subjects.
The same conditions apply for these works as for the portraits.
