The process is collaborative and typically unfolds in four stages:

1. Consultation — You share your vision, reference photos, and any specific wishes. Josef listens before he looks.

2. Composition sketch — A preliminary study is shared for your approval before paint ever touches canvas.

3. Execution — The oil portrait is painted in Josef’s studio. Timeline varies by size and complexity, typically 4–10 weeks.

4. Delivery — The finished work is photographed, documented, and delivered ready to hang.

Pricing depends on canvas size, complexity, and number of subjects. Every piece is an original, hand-painted oil — a one-of-a-kind work that will only appreciate in both sentiment and value over time.

As for whether it’s worth it: ask anyone who has given an Eye-Conic portrait as a gift. The reaction in that moment tends to answer the question.

Not at all. Josef works with clients nationally and internationally. Commissions are designed to be conducted entirely remotely — all that’s needed is good reference photography and a clear conversation. Finished works are shipped safely to wherever you are.
