How long does a finished portrait, landscape, miniature or restoration take?
Portrait: Lee Hunt’s smooth canvas technique, employing layers of slow-drying oil paints, is a careful, meticulous process. A typical 16″ X 20″ portrait of a single subject takes an average of 6 months to complete. Larger works and portraits of multiple subjects take longer. Landscape: Lee’s oil landscapes and historical paintings use the same smooth surface technique as her portraits. A typical 20″ X 30″ landscape takes an average of 9 months to a year to complete. Larger works and more complex vistas take longer. Miniature: A typical piece of dollhouse furniture takes 1 month. Restoration: A typical restoration of an aged, chipped, cracked or otherwise damaged oil painting takes 3 months to complete.
