London or any city - any artists like at Montmartre?

We'd like to get a portrait of our daughter and are struggled with finding an artist. Is there anywhere in London/Brum/Manchester where there are street portrait artists like Montmartre in Paris?

@DownyEmerald

Would you also consider an artist who isn't a street artist, but who works from a studio, someone like Jemma Phipps?

OP there are plenty of artists you can commission on the Saatchiart website.

Have a search for portrait/figurative painters then pick one whose style you like and contact them through the site to see how much they would charge.

There at least used to be those kind of quick portrait/ caricature artists in Leicester Square.

We have looked at artists local to us because we'd like it to be from life - but not had any joy with replies from the ones my daughter likes the style of.

@DownyEmerald

What kind of style does she like, OP?

I think that I had assumed that she was a child, but it sounds as though she is older.
