| William Noonan Studio 382 Candlestick Hill Road Newburgh, NY 12550 www.williamnoonan.com A portrait begins with a
discussion of what the sitter or person commissioning the work would
like the portrait to be. I work from a combination of life and my own
photographs. I can work from others’ photographs but prefer not to. The
first, and sometimes only, sitting is used to take photos and to do
some kind of study, either a drawing or a color study. This gives me a
chance to become familiar with the subject. This can be done in my
studio, in Newburgh, New York, or in the subject’s space. It generally
takes around three months to complete a portrait. This of course varies
with the complexity of the image. I can work within a tighter deadline
but better results are yielded when I have time to live with the
painting and let it develop with careful thought.
