How we do it:

The process of creating a hand-painted portrait from a photo is a meticulous and intricate one. First, one of our artists will carefully study the photograph to get a sense of the subject's unique features and character. They will then sketch out the basic outline of the portrait, taking care to capture the subject's likeness and personality.

Once the sketch is complete, our artist will begin to paint, using a variety of techniques and materials to bring the portrait to life. Depending on the style of the portrait you have chosen will dictate which of our artists will paint your portrait for you, (either Photo Realism or Impressionist). Our artists generally work in oils, layering colors and textures to create depth and dimension, but if you prefer they can produce your portrait in watercolors.

Throughout the painting process, the artist will constantly refer back to the original photograph to ensure that the portrait is as accurate and true-to-life as possible. They may also incorporate elements of the subject's personality or interests into the painting, such as a favorite color or object.

The finished product is a stunning, hand-painted portrait that captures the essence of the subject and the moment in time that the photograph represents. Whether it's a portrait of a beloved family member, a cherished pet, or a special moment from your own life, a hand-painted portrait can be a powerful and meaningful addition to your home decor or a thoughtful and heartfelt gift for a loved one.

One of the biggest advantages of commissioning a hand-painted portrait from a photo is the level of customization that is possible. Unlike a mass-produced print or photograph, a hand-painted portrait can be tailored to your specific preferences and tastes. You can choose the size, style, and medium of the portrait, as well as any additional details or personal touches that you would like to include.

Hand-painted portraits also offer a level of artistry and craftsmanship that is unmatched by other forms of reproduction. Each portrait is a unique work of art, created by one of our skilled and talented artists who has poured their heart and soul into bringing the subject to life. This level of dedication and attention to detail is evident in the final product, which is a true masterpiece that you can proudly display and enjoy for years to come.
