Considering having a portrait painted? Artist offers advice
By ALANA M. KNUFF

APRIL
12, 2010 -- What a boom digital photography has become. We are drenched
in quick shots of smiling faces - family, friends, celebrities and
leaders. The mechanical image, however, misses warmth and disciplined
artistic and intellectual fabric. Since early times, artists have
been the recorders of our humanity - the cavemen drew the hunt,
da Vinci the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo the human figure, etc. The
famous or wealthy who shaped history sat as artists painted their
portraits.

Portraits
impart importance and authenticity and appear on currencies around
the world. Leaders and presidents have their portraits prominently
displayed to remind us of their legacy. And, none of these portraits
are digital images. A fine-art portrait is an heirloom that exquisitely
conveys the spirit and likeness of an individual for posterity.
It is "handmade," stately and enduring.
The
painted portrait is an admired, honored and valued counterpoint
to the digital age. When a commissioned portrait fails to be a good
likeness, it falls short of the client's expectations. That situation
should not happen. Composition, color, values, intensities, soft
and hard edges, correct anatomy and especially likeness are the
foundation for a good portrait. Quality builds upon these to achieve
excellence by conveying the inner spirit and personality of the
individual in a professional pose and style. That defining moment
- the moment when the person suddenly appears on the canvas - is
inspiring, humbling and achievable.

Hat," by Daniel Island portrait artist Alana M. Knuff.

When
considering a portrait, look for artists whose work is primarily
figurative and portraiture, and whose style you like. Ask the artist
about the process prior to commissioning the work. Convey your expectations
and ideas, and expect feedback that affirms that the artist understands
your goals. A good conversation with a good portrait artist should
result in a good portrait.
Here
are some guidelines:
- Review
the artist's work. Ask to see a portfolio and view the artist's
Web site if one is available. Ask for references and call them.
Other good sources are local galleries, the Portrait Society of
America, and art magazines such as the Art Collector.
- Style
is a big factor.
Know the artist's style before approaching him or her. Each artist
has a unique style ranging from photo realism to representational
to impressionism. More than likely, if the artist's style is not
yours, then your vision will not work.
- Both
rapport and good communication are key.
Do you feel comfortable working with the artist? You are a partner
in this undertaking. Does the artist listen to your ideas and
suggest how they may be incorporated into the work? If not, continue
your search.
- The
classic media are charcoal, pastels, watercolors, acrylics and
oils. Each imparts subtle variations in mood and style. Which
do you like? If it is not the medium the artist prefers, continue
your search.
- Understand
the process.
Will the work be done from photographs or sittings or a combination?
How will the artist update you on the progress? Has a completion
date been agreed upon?
- Discuss
costs.
Costs vary from thousands of dollars by famous artists to several
hundred by those not so famous (and hungry). The medium, size,
subject and time frame all impact the cost. Portraits of a single
subject cost less than of groups. A head-and-shoulders portrait
is usually less expensive than a three-quarter image or full-figure
image. Oils, watercolors or pastels are usually more expensive
than charcoal or pencil.
- Professional
artists use a contract
and require a deposit prior to starting work. Read the contract
and agree upon any changes before signing. The following clause
should be in a good contract: "If upon receipt of the portrait,
the client is dissatisfied with the portrait, the client shall
return the portrait to the artist. Once the artist receives the
returned portrait, any payment received, less reimbursable expenses
and the initial deposit, will be refunded to the client."
Bottom line: You, the client, need to be satisfied.

CURRENTS
Learn from
the Civil War to move forward
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
APRIL
12, 2010 -- One hundred and forty nine years ago today, Confederate
troops bombarded Fort Sumter to open a national gash that oozed
for more than a century. By the time the bloodiest of American wars
ended in 1865, more than 662,000 Americans lay dead. While the total
number of Union troops killed was greater (364,511), the South’s
wound cut deeper because the estimated 258,000 Confederate dead
came from a smaller regional population. One in four white Southern
males between the age of 15 and 40 died in “The Lost Cause.”
Brack |
Our
War Between the States tested America and its notion of freedom.
In the broadest sense, the war grew out of regional insecurities
about slavery that evolved since the earliest days of the republic.
Southerners felt they needed slaves to work the land in their agrarian-based
economy. They long championed states’ rights and self-government
to prop up a social, economic and political structure based on race.
As the North industrialized, it sought a more centralized system
that promoted economic development and expansion without slavery.
In the midst of two increasingly different outlooks, some sought
compromise to bring people together. The war, historian Avery O.
Craven wrote, “did not come simply because one section was
agricultural and the other industrial; because one exploited free
labor and the other slaves; or because a sectional majority refused
to respect the constitutional rights of the minority.” Rather,
he said, “politicians and pious cranks” ratcheted up the
rhetoric on issues that could have been compromised (sound familiar
today?) and whipped up the South against the North, and vice versus.
The war devastated the South. As Mark Twain observed in 1883, “In
the South, the war is what A.D. [anno Domini] is elsewhere;
they date from it.” Reconstruction rubbed salt in the war wounds
of the white elite to the point that they figured out a way –
Jim Crow laws – to constantly pick at scabs from the war and
keep the free black man down for decades. Only after millions of
Americans fought overseas during World War II did GIs returning
to a segregated South start questioning America’s peculiar
apartheid. “I fought the Nazis and returned home to find this?”
many wondered.
 |
So
when it comes to the Civil War, let’s avoid the bitterness
that tore the country apart 149 years ago, be respectful, pull together
and focus on how our great divide from the past can make us stronger
now."
The landmark Brown v. Board of Education case drove a stake
into Old South segregation in schools. Then black leaders from the
South led the civil rights movement to help America better realize
its true dream of freedom and equality for all.
Today, despite huge leaps of progress, the country is still suffering
from a Civil War hangover. Almost mimicking the spirit of those
Pace salsa commercials on television, Southerners routinely are
distrustful of new ideas and policies that emanate from New York
City, Washington or places that are “off.” In turn, Northerners
seem to still have caricatured impressions of Southerners and their
values of faith, duty, honor, tradition and respect for the past.
The residual effect is that there’s a lot of hollering and
little listening, much the same as there was just before the start
of the Civil War.
Throughout this next year, America has a choice on how to remember
the Civil War. In one path, we honor the dead from both sides who
gave their lives. We embrace a full, open discussion of what happened
a century and a half ago. And we learn from it so we can take steps
to make our democracy stronger. Or the country can go down the familiar
path of vitriol and hatefulness, needlessly fighting old battles
that can only cause more division, more problems and more pain in
our over-partisanized, media-saturated America that is hurting more
each day.
As Americans, we know what the right thing is – to engage in
spirited, respectful discussions on issues to move forward to a
common goal, a stronger country. So when it comes to the Civil War,
let’s avoid the bitterness that tore the country apart 149
years ago, be respectful, pull together and focus on how our great
divide from the past can make us stronger now.

ENCYCLOPEDIA
Moultrie
flag
In
January 1776 the South Carolina Council of Safety delivered twenty-three
yards of blue cloth to Colonel William Moultrie, commander of the
Second South Carolina Regiment.
It
is not known if this cloth was used to make the unit's colors, but
in the colonel's memoirs he wrote: "it was thought necessary
to have a flag for the purpose of signals: (as there was no national
or state flag at the time) I was desired by the council of safety
to have one made, upon which, as the state troops were clothed in
blue, and the fort was garrisoned by the first and second regiments,
who wore a silver crescent on the front of their caps; I had a large
blue flag made with a crescent in the dexter corner, to be uniform
with the troops: This was the first American flag which was displayed
in South-Carolina."
Ordered
to Sullivan's Island, the Second South Carolina was the principal
command in the island's half-completed palmetto log and sand fort,
and the regiment's colors served as the garrison's flag. During
the June 28, 1776, attack by a British fleet, the flagstaff was
cut down by artillery. Sergeant William Jasper retrieved the colors,
tied them to a staff, and planted them back on the ramparts. The
British were defeated, providing the patriot cause its first major
victory in the Revolutionary War.
In
January 1861, after the state's secession from the Union, the legislature
drew on the symbolism of the Second South Carolina's colors and
the fort's palmetto logs to adopt the official flag of South Carolina.
