Commission a Portrait (2025)Painting
by Olha Dashkevych

Hello! I create unique hand-painted portraits from photographs using pastel, charcoal, and oil. Each portrait is entirely handmade — 100% original artwork. In this example, pastel on specialty paper was used, based on a public photograph.

I have over 15 years of experience in portrait painting and focus on capturing the character and individuality of each subject.

How to order:
1. Send me your photographs and any preferences regarding the style and details of the portrait.
2. We’ll agree on the price and timeframe.
3. You pay a 50% deposit, after which I begin the work.
4. During the process, I can send photos to show the progress.
5. Once the portrait is complete, you will receive a photo of the finished piece. If you’re happy with it, you pay the remaining balance, and I send the original artwork.

My clients are always satisfied with the results. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me — I’ll be happy to respond and provide additional samples of my work.
