I ask because when I paint outside in public, I get asked this time after time. I don't do it myself (well, haven't in a long time), but people seem very interested. You would probably have to keep your prices fairly low, however, I'd say well under $100 if you're talking about a pencil drawing. But if you're fairly quick, this isn't bad money. Since you're not on display painting in public, I'd suggest you make up some cards with one of the drawings of your daughter and post them in appropriate places. However, I can tell you, nothing attracts attention like drawing or painting in public, especially if your drawing looks a lot like your subject. So, even better than posting cards around, would be drawing one of your daughters in public if both of you could stand that. If you're in a place with a lot of traffic, you'll be swamped with people asking if you do portraits. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> Can you draw a portrait from a photograph?
