Questions

Portrait & Commission Questions

Answers to the questions clients ask most about portraits, murals, and fine art commissions.

How much does a custom pet portrait cost?

Graphite pet portraits start at $300 for 8 × 10", $580 for 11 × 14", $1,200 for 16 × 20", and $2,250 for 20 × 30". Colored pencil is about twice the graphite price. Each additional pet adds 50% of the base price.

How much does a house portrait cost?

Hand-drawn home portraits start at 11 × 14": graphite from $580, watercolor or acrylic from $850, and colored pencil from $1,150. Larger sizes and added details are quoted individually.

How long does a portrait take?

Most portraits are completed within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on size, detail, and current bookings. Rush delivery is available for an additional 25%.

What photos do you need for a pet portrait?

Send the clearest photos you have. The sharper the photo, the more detail can go into the portrait. Well-lit photos taken at your pet's eye level, ideally in natural light, work best.

Can I give a portrait as a gift?

Yes. Gift certificates are available in any size and medium, and arrive with a printed reveal card to wrap. The recipient sends their photos when they're ready.

Do you offer house portraits for realtors?

Yes. Home portraits make memorable closing gifts, delivered gift-ready with a "Presented by" card from the agent. Realtors who order regularly receive a partner rate.

How much does a custom mural cost?

Murals are quoted by size and complexity. Most interior murals run about $30 to $45 per square foot, and exterior or commercial murals about $40 to $60 per square foot, with a $1,000 minimum.

Do you use AI or prints?

No. Every portrait and painting is an original, created entirely by hand by Amanda Walls.

Do you ship artwork?

Yes. Originals are shipped by tracked, insured mail anywhere in the U.S., and local pickup or delivery is available in Colorado Springs.
