Jeff Kesses started East Coast Portraits in 1999. Jeff studied art and portraiture at
Although Jeff prefers to paint portraits from life, he can work from photographs if the subject is not available to sit for the portrait. When working from photographs, Jeff requests a three hour oil sketch from life of the subject to ensure accurate flesh tones. Posthumous portraits, of course, can only be done from photographs.
For portraits painted exclusively from life, apparel worn for the portrait should be made available on occasions when the model cannot sit for the portrait. This will speed up the process by lessoning the number of sittings required.
