Compilation Portraits In Black Pencil

Compilation Portraits are paintings that were created from several different photos. We first combine all photos digitally into one photo and send you for approval. Only after you approve the final digital photo, we pass it to the artist in order to create the actual painting.

Note: you can hover over the paintings and click 'original photos' to see all the photos that were used for creating the final painting.

My father passed away 8 years ago. He only saw the birth of two of his grandchildren and now my mother has four. We asked Paint Your Life to include him in a rendering of a picture of my mother and her four grandchildren together. She was blown away by the result which we presented to her for her 80th birthday.

I was trying to think of the perfect Christmas present for my dad. My grandmother passed away a few months back and I wanted to get him something sentimental. There are no pictures of my dad and my grandmother together when he was a baby, so I wanted to have one created. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

"My brother passed away 5 years ago from a drug overdose. The picture is of him, my brother, and my nephew who is 4. They never got to meet each other but I wanted a special way to say he’s always with him and us! The person receiving the painting is my mother."
