Questions About Ordering Portraits
1. Can you do paintings from photographs, or paintings that are not in your collection? |
| 2.Can I send you an old black and white photo to be painted in color? Yes, many of our customers turn old and damaged photographs into beautiful portraits. Such details can be added as color or even corrections to parts of the photographs that are damaged. Although we do prefer as clear photographs as possible to work with, in cooperation with our customers we have created some excellent art work from some very poor, old photographs. If the photo is too damaged, it may help to provide other images to help with details. |
| 3.Can I send in more than one photo to help provide details? Many of our customers send in extra photos solely to provide details and clarity that may be missing in the main photograph to be rendered into an oil painting. This is very helpful to our artists and helps to assure that the end result is as close to perfect as possible. Many customers also send in extra photos to have details added. |
| 4.Can I send in my brother's painting to be reproduced? Yes, if you send us a good image of any painting our artists can reproduce it for you. |
| 5.Can I send in more than one photo to be combined into one oil portrait? Part of the beauty of having an oil portrait commissioned is that you can customize it in ways limited only by your imagination and the images you can provide. We have painted many portraits for customers who combined elements of different photos or, quite often, photographs with other classical oil paintings. You can remove details from a photo as well, to create the ideal moment captured in a beautiful work of art. |
