Sep 3, 2013 | Corporate Portraits
Corporate Portraits are incredibly important to company headquarters of all major corporations. Many businesses pay an experienced Portrait Artist to create an exact portrait of key executives who have contributed greatly to the growth and prosperity of a business and guided its progress. With the help of such a portrait, colleagues, the community, and other individuals impacted by their work can remember these special people well after they have retired and/or departed from the company. A Corporate Portrait is no ordinary honor, as it is made for only a select few people. Therefore, commissioning a corporate painting is a task to be given the highest priority. L.A. Cline has received the esteemed honor of being chosen to create manycorporate portraits of top leaders. This type of portrait requires an experienced artist who understands that the image must represent not only an individual, but the entire corporation behind them. Generally, a Corporate Portrait starts from a sketch of the individual in person. The artist will see what poses are comfortable and natural for the subject and consider various color patterns for the Corporate Portrait. The Corporate Portrait Artist will take the designs back to her studio for finalization and thereafter final approval from the client. Video on ‘Corporate Pastel Portraits’ See more of L.A. Cline’s videos here One of the many advantages of pastel painting is that no drying time is required, as with other forms of painting. This means that the Corporate Portrait can be directly critiqued by the client. The artist can make important changes right before the client’s eyes. While clients can recommend the size of the painting at the start, the Portrait Artist, L.A. Cline, may suggest other...

The”Happy Leprechaun” Pastel Painting is now starting to come alive!!!!! It is a daunting task for any Artist to start a painting whether it is a painting of realism art or an abstract painting because the Artist starts with a blank canvas and creates the idea that originated in their mind. The additional pressure to show the painting you are creating to the world as you are working to create a master pastel painting is something most artists keep to themselves. However, I feel is very important for the viewers to see how this blank canvas disappears as this pastel painting progresses. Planning a painting and making the first mark on that white surface is over whelming moment each time I start a new painting. You have to keep painting until you see that glimmer of something that was in your mind and then you continue carefully to create the environment of the painting you want the viewer to see. Emailing, blogging and posting art online, the Leprechaun painting updates, is a look into the creative process flowing from my mind to the painting. The image that you are viewing now is of my rough unfinished work. This process of updating my blogs, posts and emails shows the deep commitment especially in front of an audience that we as artists have to keep creating until we have that ultimate work of art. Figurative art is very exciting to me. I enjoy painting the figure and face of any individual and I am having a great time creating this “Happy Leprechaun”. After creating the pencil art to scale of what I...

“Enchanted Bloom” is Signed and Finished!!! I have completed the last step before the actual scanning of the Original Pastel Nature Painting. All the chalk has an even appearance which means that all the many layers are blended over the whole painting. This is critical step because it will scan and reproduce as a very fine duplication of the original. You can find my signature on the left hand side at the end of a petal. For the next four to five days I will be spraying the piece in preparation for the scanning and framing. I have already selected a very unique frame that will compliment the piece. It is a solid wooden frame approximatley 5 1/2″ wide with a continuous flow and no corner seams in an off-white textured finish. It is a custom frame and will take about four weeks to be made. Meanwhile once the scan is complete the image will look even better and closer to the original. I have been taking shots with my camera so you can see my progression as I painted this creation. My camera is a great however a more true image will be captured using the powerful and sensitive scanning machine. This beautiful painting is essentially finished. I now hand my original to very competent technicians I have worked with many years for the scanning and framing. I do supervise the piece through these finishing steps. Join me after the Holidays for the creation of a new painting. Sincere Wishes to you all for a very Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!!!!! L.A....
