Live Portraits

Starting in April 2025, I began drawing 20-minute mini portraits at markets around St. Augustine and Gainesville. Some are from life and some from photos, but they are always done in the moment. It’s been a joy to meet such lovely people and get to draw them, too!

If you’d like to order your own custom mini portrait, they are available at $20 for a single face (animal or human), or $35 for two faces in one portrait (see photos for examples). Larger full-color portraits are also available, with variable pricing depending on the complexity of the project.

To order a portrait, please send me an email at mchbarnes20@gmail.com with a few photo references. Shipping or local pickup can be arranged as well. I look forward to hearing from you!
