Original Art Portraits from Photos
An original art portrait from a photo of your loved one is a gift that anyone would treasure. Hand painted in delicate watercolour by an experienced portrait artist, a portrait makes a unique, one of a kind gift for the holidays, a birthday, a christening or the birth of a new baby. You can even get one for yourself to commemorate one of your baby's milestones or your wedding anniversary. It would also make a great gift for newlyweds to celebrate their nuptials.
Our portrait artist is very talented at capturing the character of the subjects. Twinkling eyes, adorable grins and mischievous looks will be captured in a fine art portrait forever. The subtleties of watercolour are perfect for children's and baby portraits, as this medium lends a lightness and delicacy to the subject. Watercolour is also a good choice for a bridal portrait… it gives a soft beauty to any subject. A portrait like this will be a cherished possession for life, no matter who you give it to.
You may wonder why a portrait from a photo would make such a great gift… after all, we can take a photograph, right? Well, once upon a time, families would often arrange for various members to sit for their portrait. This took many hours of posing as the artist had to work from life… they didn't have the convenience of photographs! Now, it seems everyone has lots of photos, however, and very few hand painted portraits. That is what makes a watercolor portrait so unique and a great alternative to a regular photograph. The details that go into an artistic portrait make it a very special way to honour a family member or special friend. The delight you'll see in the recipient's eyes when they open up a beautiful hand painted portrait will be a moment you'll remember for a long time.
An original portrait can be enjoyed every day. This is a gift that can be proudly displayed over the fireplace or another place of honour. Another perk is you won't need to worry about anyone else getting the recipient the same thing since a portrait is a very personal, original gift.
When you decide to place an order for a hand painted watercolour portrait, you will need to send a clear photo of the subject. The photo should be fairly up close to the subject and well-lit. The photo should be taken at eye level to create the best portrait. The subject of the portrait should take up at least a third of the photo so the artist can see the details. Photographs will be returned with the finished portrait. Each portrait is delivered within two weeks, so there is not a long waiting period. Your finished portrait will be 12 x 10 inches (30 x 25 cm) and will be ready for framing. There will be an additional fee for portraits containing more than one person. You can also choose to have the portrait painted in colour or black and white. Black and white portraits can be as stunning as those in full colour.
