Commissions

Introduction

Amanda accepts a limited number of commissioned portraits each year. Each portrait is carefully created by hand using graphite, coloured pencil or soft pastel, capturing the character and presence of the subject through detailed drawing.

Because each artwork is highly detailed and time-intensive, commission spaces are limited throughout the year.

Commissions are available for:

• pets

• horses

• wildlife

• people

Reference Photo Guide

To create the best possible portrait, clear reference photos are essential. When sending photos of your subject, please keep the following in mind:

• Choose clear, high-resolution photos.
• Natural lighting works best.
• Eye-level images usually create the most engaging portrait.
• Avoid heavy shadows or filters.
• Sending several photos is helpful for capturing the character of the subject.

If you are unsure which image will work best, feel free to send a few options and I will help select the most suitable reference.
