I have been approached by a client wanting a painting of her husband and young daughter walking away. I obviously have a price list for my portraits, but am curious as to how to handle this. Since there will be no faces to paint, how do I charge? The same? Significantly less?

She also does not want it in full color but a monochromatic painting. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much.
