Portrait Commission Special – Limited Availability

Custom Fine Art Portraits by Sabrina Tillman

After spending the past several months immersed in a large-scale landscape commission, I’m excited to return to one of my favorite forms of expression — portraiture. For a limited time, I’m opening 6 commission slots for custom charcoal or sanguine portraits. Each piece is carefully hand-drawn to capture presence, personality, and subtle expression — creating an heirloom artwork designed to last for generations.

Pricing & Options

Charcoal vs Sanguine

Choose between the classical depth of Willow Charcoal or the warm, earthy luminosity of traditional Sanguine. Charcoal offers high contrast and modern drama, while Sanguine provides a soft, luminous quality reminiscent of Renaissance-era portrait studies.
