I have created this blog because a fellow artist, and wonderful friend of mine said I might be interested in showing my artwork by creating a "Blog." I looked at the blog he created for his artwork and decided that he might be right! So, to that friend, you know who you are, I say, thank you for introducing me to Blogs.
Brau Studios is where artwork of Barbara Rau will be displayed. Updates will be made periodically to include more recent work so check back often.
For information on purchasing prints or requesting customized artwork such as portraits or portable murals contact us at: BrauStudios6@aol.com Custom Portraits are created in Oil, Watercolor or Pastels. Portable Murals are Oil on canvas.
Thank you for your interest in commissioning Brau Studios to do a portrait or mural painting for you. Our goal is to work with you to produce a wonderful art piece for you to enjoy for years to come or give as a gift.
Brau Studios uses photograph reference to create your portrait. You can either send a high-resolution digital image on a CD, or a photograph, which should be a minimum of 5x7 in size, or maximum of 11x14. You are welcome to send more than one image to be used for reference of the subject. Providing more than one photo, gives the artist the opportunity to study the subject from many different perspectives. Any photos or CD's provided by the client will be returned upon portrait completion.
When you commission Brau Studios to paint a portrait or portable mural from your own reference material, you are commissioning an individual piece of artwork, which is unlike any photograph you have. For more information please contact us: BrauStudios6@aol.com
