Over at artstudiosecrets.com, artist Lisa Gloria relates how she’s handling a multiple portrait commission.
“One portrait is a challenge, but 3 distinct framed paintings pose a new set of problems to be solved. I needed to make them look like they belonged together, while using disparate photo resources. Also I wanted the installation to seem harmonious as a whole composition.”
“I didn’t have the option of posing them similarly, so instead I chose to balance different poses against each other as though they were in the same composition. Their suits and ties are in shades of grey, with check patterns as a recurring theme – sometimes in a tie, sometimes in a jacket.”
The writeup is here, and Lisa promises to share the portraits after they are accepted by the client. The crop of the oil portrait you see on this page is “Isobela in Tahitian Dress” from Lisa’s gallery, and can be admired by visiting this page.

multiple portrait commissions. Can technology help here ?
I went through the article and was thinking, what can be the mundane tasks that can be automated or sampled by a computer program which is will leave the artist to his/her creativity and not bother about those tasks.
