It's Official

After much thought and consideration, after getting more requests for portraits drawn, and after a lot of time doing research in person and online, I have made the decision to officially  start doing commissioned portraits.

It is a little scary and a little exciting all at the same time. I have set up a new blog which basically runs as a website (meaning, I won't post regular entries like I do on this blog).  It links to this blog and I will still post my updates on art here.  The new website is racheljensenportraits.blogspot.com. 

As I have done more and more portraits, for me and for other people, I realized that I really like doing it.  And, as I learn more, my technique is improving, and I hope to continue to develop that skill. I just got to where I was getting enough requests that I figured I needed to be organized and set up an official "business" if you call it that.  I have no idea how this will all work out. I will probably do a lot of tweaking to the website and to my policies and procedures as I go until I figure out how to work this. I have gotten a lot of ideas from other portrait artists though, and I think I have a good start.

So, wish me luck.  :)

I am working on three portraits at the moment, so hopefully I will be posting some new entries soon. Getting the website set up this last week occupied most of my art time, and now I am ready to get drawing!
