Our portrait painting service makes it simple to transform your favorite photo into beautiful custom art. Just upload a photo to our website, choose your style (oil painting, watercolor, pop art), and our talented artists will create a hand-painted masterpiece. We offer a money back guarantee if you're not satisfied with your final painting.

2. What types of custom portrait from photo options do you offer?

Our professional artists create custom oil painting from photo, custom watercolor, custom colored pencil drawings, custom digital portrait art, custom mixed-media work, and custom charcoal sketches. Your portrait painting will be crafted with attention to every detail when you send us your photo.

3. How do I turn photos into paintings?

To turn photos into paintings, simply upload the photo to our website and select your preferred style. Our painting service transforms your simple photo into stunning custom painting through traditional painting techniques. You can turn your picture into oil portraits, watercolor painting, or even vibrant pop art - all hand-painted on canvas.

4. What's the difference between oil painting and watercolor for my portrait?

When choosing between oil or watercolor for your portrait painting, consider that oil painting on canvas provides rich texture and vibrant colors that last generations. Custom watercolor has a lighter, dreamy quality perfect for softer scenes. Both options create beautiful painted pictures when using your photo as reference.

5. Why choose hand painted portraits instead of digital prints?

Our hand painted portraits are created by professional artists who carefully study your original photo. Each brushstroke adds unique character that digital painting cannot replicate. The physical painting has texture and dimension that makes your personalized art truly special. A hand-painted masterpiece always came out better than mass-produced prints.

6. Can you create a family portrait painting from multiple family photos?

This custom portrait painting service is perfect for creating memorable wall art when getting everyone together for a photo is impossible.

When you place an order for pop art transformation, our artists create eye-catching canvas art using your favorite photo as inspiration.

14. What's the difference between digital portrait and hand-painted artwork?

A digital portrait is created electronically and printed, while our hand-painted on canvas works are physical paintings created with traditional materials. Hand-painted portraits have authentic brushstrokes and texture that cannot be replicated by a robotic painting machine. Each custom masterpiece has character that makes it unique.

15. Can I order custom mixed-media or custom charcoal portraits?

16. How should I choose which photo to have painted?

The best photos for painting have good lighting, clear details, and capture personality. When you send us your photo, our artists will evaluate its painting potential. For family portrait painting, choose natural expressions. For pet portraits, select photos that showcase your pet's characteristic look. The type of artwork you want should guide your artistic photo selection.

17. Do you turn photos into paintings in different sizes?

Yes, we can configure your painting in various sizes to suit your space. Whether you need a small portrait or large wall art, our custom painting from photo service accommodates your needs. Just specify your size preference when you upload your photo, and our artists will create your painting masterpiece accordingly.

18. What makes a custom portrait the ultimate personalized gift?

A custom portrait painting transforms photos into beautiful, lasting memories. Whether it's a family portrait painting, pet portrait, or painting from your photo of a special place, hand-painted portraits show thoughtfulness that mass-produced gifts cannot match.
