Gretchen Almy - Graphite Pencil Portraits

5/24/2010

Pencil Portrait Process

My work is known for my intense concentration to detail and the ability to capture every nuance of your beloved's markings and personality. To achieve this attention to detail Gretchen only accepts a limited number of commissions a year. Each commission take 6-8 weeks to complete. Commission work in pencil is hand drawn on archival 100% rag cotton paper.

Quality work takes time...
