Why choose drawing?
A portrait drawing usually takes less time than a portrait painting and often costs less too. One or two sittings can be enough, and £500- £4,500 would be enough to commission a drawing by most of our Members. Many portrait painters enjoy creating drawings. If you select for drawing on our artist-finder you will see over 35 artists accept commissions for drawings.
