EASTON, PA -
It's that time of year and everyone is starting to think about the best gift they can give someone.. Or this might be something you want to do yourself - or for a pet you love.
Have you ever thought of having a portrait done? Not a photo, but a work of art - like a painting or a drawing?
In today’s digital age, there’s probably an app for that but what if you want a work of art that reminds you that you are still a human being?
Today, I want to introduce you to an artist living with us in the Lehigh Valley who is one of the very few people today with the skill and commitment to providing portraits in a way that was done before modern technology.
Artist, Dorian Vallejo does portrait paintings and drawings while the subject is sitting right in from of him.
He offers various portrait options and prices to meet most budgets.
Some of these include pencil sketches, charcoal drawings, and even an oil-painted sketch. These are all completed in a single session at either a location of your choice or at the artist's studio in Easton PA.
We’re all familiar with having our picture taken and have varying degrees of comfort with that experience. A portrait is not a photo in paint. It’s a work of art that happens to be of the subject. Sitting for a portrait is a completely different experience. Especially when it’s done from life. It’s the kind of thing you or the subject will remember fondly for the rest of your lives.
Most portrait artists work from photos. Dorian can do that too. However, he feels so strongly about sharing this experience that he offers the portraits done from life at a substantial discount.
If you are looking for something unique to give someone as a gift or to experience for yourself (or for a pet you love), I’d highly suggest you try this.
Dorian asks for no deposit and offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. This means that you get to have the experience and only if you love the result and want to keep it are you expected to pay.
Ultimately, this is an experience that reminds you that some of the best things in life are still made by humans and it’s nice to have that memory on the wall.
