Colored Pencil Portrait (1 Human Subject) Commission for Mindful Homes

A portrait drawn entirely by hand, in colored pencil — of the person who holds meaning for you. Each one begins with your photos and your story, then takes shape slowly, layer by layer, until it captures more than a likeness. It captures presence.

Premium Intuitive Painting Commission for Mindful Homes

Every Occipicco Art original starts without a plan — color and movement come first, meaning reveals itself after. A commissioned piece follows that same process, shaped around your home: your wall, your light, your existing palette, and the feeling you want the room to hold. The result isn't a painting that simply matches your space. It's one that belongs to it.

START YOUR CUSTOM PAINTING

What's included

Choice of canvas size: 9″×12″ / 11″×14″, 16″×20″ / 18″×24″, or 24″×30″ / 30″×40″
A short consultation about your space and the mood you're after. Optional framing available in black, white, or brown
Photos of your wall and lighting requested before painting begins. A 50% deposit is due upfront, with the remaining balance due before shipment or delivery

How it works

Share photos of your space and a few words on how you want it to feel
We select a palette and direction together
The painting is created intuitively — no sketches, no previews, true to the process behind every Occipicco original

Certificate of Authenticity

Every Premium Intuitive Painting Commission includes a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity. It confirms that your piece is a genuine, one-of-a-kind original by Lemseh Carothers-Abdullah — and that the artist retains complete copyright and reproduction rights over the work. The certificate documents the title, medium, dimensions, and date of creation, and arrives with your painting as a permanent record of its origin.

To preserve your original artwork: avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth if necessary. Handle with care.

What our clients say

Michelle T., Nashville TN

"I commissioned a colored pencil portrait of my mother as a gift and I genuinely did not expect it to move me the way it did. Lemseh captured something in her expression that photographs never quite get. It now hangs in our family room and everyone who visits asks about it."

Robert & Anita P., Portland OR

"I'd been trying to find the right piece for our entryway for two years. Nothing felt right until I discovered Occipicco Art. The consultation process was thoughtful and unhurried — Lemseh really listened. When the painting arrived it was like the room had been waiting for it."
