24×36 Charcoal Portrait Gift -- 2
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a favourite vacation photo of my girlfriend—she’s standing against a beautiful landscape—and I want it transformed into a hand drawn realistic charcoal piece on a 24 in × 36 in canvas in time for Christmas. The entire scene matters to me, so please aim for a balanced composition rather than spotlighting just her face or merely the background.
Charcoal should be the primary medium. However, if you can show a quick mock-up or past example demonstrating how subtle colour washes, pastel highlights, or other mixed-media touches might enhance the piece, I’m open to exploring that before we lock in the final approach.
What I’ll provide:
• High-resolution reference photo (or additional angles if helpful)
• Prompt feedback on rough sketches and in-progress shots
What I need from you:
• An initial concept sketch to confirm composition
• Work-in-progress updates at agreed milestones
• A finished, fixative-protected canvas ready for framing and delivery ahead of Christmas
If shipping is a concern, let me know your location and typical turnaround so we can plan accordingly. Looking forward to seeing how you bring this memory to life.
