Limited Portrait Commissions

$300.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.

After the 31 Portraits project ended, I kept feeling the silence they left behind, as if the faces were still there, waiting for one more round.

So I’ve opened a very limited number of new portraits, 8 x 10 inches, in black ink on watercolor paper, made in that same charged stillness. Each one feels like catching someone just before they disappear.

Free U.S. shipping, and possible delivery before Christmas.

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.

Originals and prints by Marta Spendowska are available in various sizes. For custom requests, specific dimensions, or commissions, please email me at contact [at] verymarta [dot] com.
