Portrait turnarounds really depend on many things - number of people in the portrait, size and medium. An 11x17 black and white watercolor with one subject usually takes about 2 weeks. A 16'x20' acrylic painting will take a month to complete. I don't rush paintings because I am striving to make them the best they can be. I work from photographs and can use more than one photograph to put different people in the painting.
