When you commission a painting from photographs you are asking an artist you don’t know to create a portrait of someone you do know and likely care very much about. By choosing an art media - oil, watercolor, acrylic, etc. – you are asking that artist to interpret the photographs of the subject in a way that goes beyond the photographic image.
At Paint Your Life we understand that a compact is being made between you when you upload or send us your photographs and one of our talented artists who will be assigned the task of creating a portrait painting from photographs. Our artists are committed to producing a portrait that is as realistic as the photographs but with an added dimension that an oil painting or watercolor can give.
Our return customers, when ordering a second or third painting from photographs, very often request that we assign the same artist that painted their original order. It’s pretty clear that they are acknowledging that what began as a photograph became a meaningful portrait and a valuable family memento.
What the artist brings to the portrait is what makes painting from photographs a wonderful family gift. When an oil painting portrait is presented to a parent or grandparent – especially when it is a surprise – it makes an emotional impact.
When you order a portrait from Paint Your Life you can rest assured that our editors and artists will do our best to create a quality painting that you will be proud to own or give as a gift. Painting from photographs
