Limited Portrait Commissions | Contemporary Portrait Watercolor Painting

Portrait Photo Requirements To create your portrait, please provide a reference photo that meets the following: Contrast and detail: The photo should have decent or high contrast so the face reads clearly, with visible shadows and highlights. Eyes visible: Eyes are central to capturing presence and must be clearly seen. Head position: Preferably a 3/4 view of the face for an interesting angle. Avoid full-frontal, flat passport-style photos. Expression: No big smiles — subtle, natural expressions work best. Age requirement: Portraits are for people 16 years or older. Submission timeframe: Please send your photo within 2 days of purchase. Photo tips if needed: If you don’t have a suitable photo, inspiration images will be provided. A phone photo works fine; it just needs to be reasonably clear, with visible detail and shadow, not washed out. Please note: No updates, no revisions on the small portraits. The portrait will be sent once ready.
