| Create a piece of art that captures the ones you love or
one of life's special moments in a way that a mere photograph never
can. Simply send us a digital or paper copy of your photograph and we will
transform it into a n
exquisite
hand-drawn
or painted artwork that you will be proud to
display or present as a gift to others.

We offer 5
drawing media for your portraits.
-
Charcoal
portraits are drawn in
charcoal on white paper.
-
Spot
color portraits
are
drawn in charcoal, but with one or two colours added to highlight a feature.
-
Colour
drawings
are drawn in chalk pastel and are softer in mood than a
painted portrait. We can also use sepia-toned pastels to create drawings reminiscent of old
photographs. Examples of sepia-tone drawings are located in the
Colour drawings gallery.
-
Oil
paintings
are painted in oils on canvas. Oils produce extremely vibrant, lifelike portraits.
-
Acrylic
paintings
are painted in acrylics on canvas. They are a bit more impressionistic than oil paintings.
We
can combine people or pets from different photographs into one drawing.
