Sittings
Peter can work from life, or photographs (mandatory for children & animals), or a mixture of the two.

From life:
The number of 2/3 hour sittings that are required for:

- a "head and shoulders" portrait: 4/6
- a half/three quarter length portrait: 12/14
- a full-length portrait: 16/18

Sittings, ideally, should be as close together as possible, for maximum cohesion and spontaneity. This also should mean fewer sittings are necessary.

Photographs-minimum requirements, for digital images or prints:
At least one image of the chosen pose, though a variety is preferable:
either full-length, 3/4-length, 1/2-length or head and shoulders.

plus:

Close-ups of the face/head of each pose to match each chosen fuller-length shot (as above), taken at the same time and under the same lighting conditions.

Digital images:
Only highest quality/resolution-
"Large/Fine" jpegs, or raw images

Photographic prints:
6"x8"- 8”x10”
