Bespoke portraits, based on your photographs, hand-painted by top artists
Oils are an ideal medium for portrait painting because of the rich flesh colours that can be created. With our affordable prices of beautiful oil portraits starting from just £250, it is now really possible and easy to have an incredible portrait created be it of yourself, your family, a loved one or pet.
We could even hand paint a portrait based on a photo you took whilst you were on holiday that was really memorable, or perhaps a photo you took of a loved ones wedding day. Not only is it something special that you can show off proudly in your home, but it would also be a fantastic gift to give.
