Amanda,
Hang in there. I know its hard not to be discouraged. This economy is really tough, especially when you're trying to get started. I've been painting like a fiend, but they are not commissions. In some ways, I'm happier just pleasing myself. So, that's what's happening now. It could mean a 'change is in the air' for my world too...
Anyway..
I guess the answer is there are no surefire ways to 'break into' the portrait market. Results will always be different for everyone. Keep trying, and stay open to new opportunities.
Gift certificates..I usually say that they need to contact me to schedule within 6 months. Time frame to begin can be negotiated..
All the best,
Stanka
