• Family portraits - Family oil portraits are a beautiful present. A painted portrait of your ageing parents, a painting from photo of your whole family together, you and your kids, etc.
• Friends - You want to buy your friend a present which is personal and which will always remind him of your great friendship? Find a photo of the two of you from a trip or a party, or any special moment that both of you would like to cherish.
• Pet portrait - Your beloved dog, cat, horse.... The photo can be of both of you , or only your pet. A pet portrait can be a very unique gift for the pet lover.
• Scenery - Instead of buying a painting of scenery which means nothing to you, why won't you choose a beautiful scenery photo from one of your trips and hang it on the wall to remember always. Buy it for yourself or for a friend who loves a special landscape as much as you do.

• Send photos that flatter the photographed person. If you don't like the way you look in the photo, if you think that your smile doesn't look real, or your nose looks too big, try to pick another photo. Don't expect the artists to make the person look much better than he looks in the photo.
• Try to send photos with the highest resolution. If your photo is less than 100 KB size, its resolution may be too low and our artists may have difficulties to make a good painting from a photo that doesn't clearly show details.
• Pay attention to the background. You have a beautiful photo of your little boy, for example, but the background is filled with details that will detract from the painted portrait. In such a case, you can tell our artists to use a one color background of any color you choose. Just mention it in the comments box, right after you upload the photo.
