Pastel Drawing from Photo, Portrait of Loved One, Pastel Portrait hotsell for Gift, Custom Drawing from Photo, Color Drawing of Family

A soft pastel portrait commission is a thoughtful idea as:

-art for gift to friends, family, coworkers, significant others
-a memorial portrait
-a way to unite deceased loved ones with family members/friends from multiple photographs
-original artwork for wall décor

I will create your original portrait using reference photographs, and if requested merge several photographs together to create depict a couple, reunion of a living & deceased loved one, etc. in your drawing.

Your portrait from photo is hand drawn (without the use of digital tools) on Strathmore paper, using vibrant Rembrandt soft pastels.

You will receive in-process photos through Etsy's messaging service as I work on your pastel commission, to make any adjustments to ensure your satisfaction with the final artwork.

The drawing will arrive to you unframed, (for pastel: covered by glassine paper to prevent fall out/smudging) and carefully sandwiched between foam core board to ensure safe transport.

Commission a drawing from me if you're looking for something one-of-a-kind!
