In terms of grammar, I'd say 'as a reference'/

I terms of meaning, I don't understand the phrase..

Do you mean that the artist should paint a portrait of the statue?

You're asking for correcting your sentence or for advice in art? I can't figure out your problem.

What you mean by 'a reference' is unclear. I'd just say eg 'Copy the statue'.

I understand your point, but what I mean is to refer to the statue as to what the design should look like.

I don't know what you mean. But your grammar is OK.

I'm asking the designer to refer to the statue for the portrait. He's drawing a picture of the portrait.

Does that not make sense?
