The following is an example of our recent work where we took some snapshot photos and used them as references to create a formal portrait painting.

Remembering a Great Smile - Portrait Painting

We painted this portrait only based on a snapshot photo:

Snapshot photo used as refererence for the painting

The customer also provided another image with more details for the ear-rings and explained details about the eye and hair colors that were not clear enough in the photo. Jack from our team of portrait artists then started first with a pencil drawing to let the customer approve the posture and overall composition, then moved on to painting with oil on canvas. We then shipped the final painting completely framed and ready to hang. The customer`s response:

“The portrait arrived this morning. I absolutely love it! Thank you so much.”

This is just an example of how we can paint portraits quite different from the actual photos.  Just give us enough photos to use as references, and we will be able to create exactly the scene you have imagined. If you are interested in having us paint for you, please contact us and we will give you a free consultation. We look forward to hearing from you!
