This was a really fun portrait. My client contacted me wanting her old black and white photo of her Mom and Aunt looking at their new red shoes, turned into a color painting. She provided me with the original black-and-white photo to work from.

From there, she also provided a more recent color photo of both her mom and her aunt for me to pull skin color and hair color from. I went to work creating a digital proof for her to approve before putting it on canvas. We went back and forth to make sure all the color was just right. Once approved it was put on canvas and painted. The finished look really made her photo come to life!

When placing an order for your Mix Media Digital Painted Portrait:
– Please send one or more HIGH-quality photos and specify your favorite. The higher the quality image the better, but if you have one you LOVE that is low resolution, send it and I’ll see if I can use it.
– Any special instructions or the preferred background color if different from your photos?
– I also love to dedicate each portrait or painting with a bible verse under my signature. You can see my pictured samples for how this looks. If you do NOT wish to have a verse just leave the “Your Personalization” part blank.
Please take note: My current turnaround time is 3-4 weeks. This can depend on your response time to the proofs as well.
The Shipping time can range from just a couple of days. **Please note due to the current global health crisis, order delivery times may be slower than usual.
