Please be advised that antique portraits over one century old that were painted on stretched canvas are fraught with cracks and fissures. 16th Century portraits that were created on seasoned hardwood, covered with a thick ground of a marble-inclusive gesso, have shown no surface deterioration. All Covino paintings are finally protected with three coats of professional grade Damar Varnish, administered no sooner than eight months after completion, to guard against airborne contamination.
All portraits are initiated from photographic reference taken by the artist. While sitters may choose the garment of their preference, all decisions regarding pose, composition, lighting, values, and color harmony will be of the artist's educated choice.
Framing costs are, of course, extra, as only the finest Museum quality frames will be suggested for oil portraits by Frank Covino.
All transportation and lodgings costs incurred for the completion of each commission will be billed to the patron, preceding expenditure.
ABSOLUTELY NO DEADLINES WILL BE SET UPON COMPLETION OF THE WORK.
