Realistic Oil Portrait at Festival
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’d like to commission a portrait of my wife and me based on a special memory from the first music festival we attended together. The scene is along the vendor row at the festival — the moment when I first put my arm around her as we walked, and she fit perfectly into my shoulder nook, with her head resting just below my chin.
I’ve attached reference photos of both of us from that time, as well as images of the vendor area. The background doesn’t need to be detailed or exact — it’s more to set the scene. However, we do remember one distinct stand that sold fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which could be subtly included in the background as a recognizable detail.
For composition, I’d like the focus to be on us — a closer view from the chest up, with a soft, somewhat impressionistic background hinting at the vendor row and the fried PB&J stand. The overall feeling should capture that warm, intimate moment of connection and nostalgia.
