Unveiling the Artistic Brilliance of Michael Meissner: One of Augusta’s Premier Artist

Portraits Commissions

Portraits are one of the hardest things to paint. Whereas a landscape can be of in the drawing stage and still look perfectly fine a portrait relies on excellent draftsmanship to capture the likeness of the subject. A good photo to work from is essential in sharpness, lighting and size. Not all good photos make good paintings, something to remember. There will be a certain amount of artistic license taken to breathe life into the painting, and colors are critical in this regard. Info on Pet Portraits.

Art Commissions

Commissions are what I rely on the most for subjects. The pieces often reflect someone or something that has a special place in the heart that the painting is expected to carry on through time. Images of Augusts Georgia Art, and old friend that has passed, a newborn life, a favorite pet all deserve the greatest attention. Again, draftsmanship is critical to make that connection and deliver the work into that ongoing memory.

Art Painting Commissions on request

If you have something you would like painted or a portrait, inquire about commissions. I am often asked how long a painting takes. The best answer is however long it takes. Some go quickly, others are more detailed and require more time. Oils dry slowly, so a painting that requires several layers of paint can also add to the time. You can assume that the average time is between one and three week from start to dry finish.
