Working Magic

January 7th, 2010

Here’s another example of our team working magic.

We received the two images below from a customer.  Here was the customers exact request.

I have a request to combine two pictures into one portrait. The primary picture is of my two friends sitting in a military sidecar unit. The second picture is of their daughter who was not even born at the time the original picture was taken. Since my friends are sitting on the motorcycle seat, as if they were driving it, I think they would enjoy it if I incorporated their daughter into the portrait as if she were their passenger.

To facilitate requests like this, we have a photoshop person on staff to create mock-ups.  The mock-up below was created and approved by the customer.  Unfortunately, the photo of the girl wasn’t the highest quality, but our team was able to work with it.

The mock-up was presented to our artist, and our artist produced the beautiful 30″ x 36″ oil painting below.

Two Dogs Lounging Around

January 7th, 2010

We recently finished turning the photo below into a painting.  This painting was a little difficult because the shadows on the original photo were rather harsh.  It was hard for the artist to see all the details on each dog, but our artist still did a great job.

Most photos we receive are not professionally taken.  Sometimes it’s difficult working with photos taken by point-and-shoot digital cameras, but we try our best.

Our customer sent us the photo below and wanted it turned into a portrait painting.  It’s not a bad photo, but the photo we received was not a very high resolution.  The photo posted below is the actual resolution we received.  Luckily, we have some of the most talented portrait artists around.  They were able to turn a low resolution photo into a beautiful oil painting.

The second photo is a picture of the painting.  It is a 20″ x 24″ oil on canvas.

Portrait of a Pug

January 4th, 2010

For all you pug lovers out there, our talented pet portrait artist recently completed a painting of a cute pug puppy.  The painting was done in oil on a 16″ x 20″ canvas.  The customer wanted the background to be a blue color.  So, we we removed a couple objects in the background and painted a solid blue background.

The first photo is the original photo and the second photo is the painting.

Amazing Wedding Painting

We recently completed this painting, and it came out amazing.  The original photo we started with was great and if you look at the photo of the painting, you might think it’s actually a photo.

Another Beautiful Home Painting

November 11th, 2009

Not only is this house pretty large, so is the painting we did.  One of my favorite subtleties in this painting is the grass.  If you look at the grass on the left, you can almost see the path left by the lawnmower.  Those are the small details that make these paintings amazing.

This was a pretty straight forward project for the artist.  The only request from the customer was to remove the limbs laying on the ground near the tree.

We turned this older wedding photo into an oil painting.  Although our artist had to improvise with some of the finer details, the customer was still happy.
