The Process
Yong Chen will travel to the client's location to obtain information needed to complete a commissioned house portrait. Normal time would include one to two days at the client's location. During his visit the artist will spend time learning the subject and discussion of the details of the watercolor house portrait including angle, time of the day for portrait the house, and surrounding landscape of the house to be included into the watercolor house portrait, and complete a digital photo shoot. At the conclusion of the photo-shoot (approximately 1 1/2 hours), the artist and client will review the photos on a laptop computer. Together they will make final selections the artist will use as reference to create the house portrait in the studio.

During this initial visit the artist also enjoys the opportunity to complete a sketch in watercolor of the house from life. This is not required, but adds an additional resource the artist finds valuable when planning the final house portrait. Back in the artist's studio a small sketch of the watercolor house painting including composition, color scheme, etc. will also be completed and sent to the client for approval. This serves to illustrate the general approach to the finished watercolor house portrait. Once the sketch is approved the artist begins work on the final watercolor house portrait painting.

During the process of creating the watercolor portrait, the artist may request an additional sitting to be conducted either in the artist's Nashua studio or at the client's location. A final sitting is suggested to complete the watercolor portrait. In some cases photographs of the finished watercolor portrait can be sent to the client for approval upon completion of the watercolor house portrait project.
