Commissioned Paintings Celebrate Wonderful Memories


by Sherry Carpoma

Commissioned paintings can be an exquisite way to preserve unforgettable memories for the rest of your life. If you want to find the perfect way to turn an ordinary photograph into exquisite art that will last forever, portrait commissions can be the perfect solution. If you want to produce a family portrait, bring your favorite outdoor scenery indoors, or memorialize an event, think of using commissioned artwork. Portrait Kingdom’s experienced staff will work with you to create wonderful commissioned paintings.

It’s easy to add a portrait oil painting to your personal art collection, by selecting a photo of the event, scene, or loved ones you want represented. No longer do you have to spend excruciating amounts of time posing in front of an artist only to have no control over the creation of the artwork in question. Traditional sittings put the artist in control of the finished product. However, custom oil paintings done by Portrait Kingdom put you in control over the painting that’s done.

If you want to get started with the creation of exquisite art from photos you treasure, just upload a digital image. Commissioned paintings will then be produced exactly as you specify. Right from the start, you’ll have a number of choices to make so that you can make sure your final masterpiece is planned exquisitely, to the last detail. You’ll first need to decide on the size of canvas you want for your final work. There are a wide variety of sizes available, from those for tabletop or mantle top display, to a canvas large enough to be the focus of an entire wall.

Before Portrait Kingdom’s artist gets to work creating your special portrait, he or she will first conduct an evaluation of seeing composition. This will help the artist understand how many subjects will be depicted in the final product, so that he or she can carefully plan out the painted portraits. You can also tell the painter whether or not you would like certain background elements excluded or included, so that you can modify the final image if you choose.

A professional artist who will be transforming your photo into unique personalized paintings needs you to provide a digital image where subjects’ faces can clearly be seen. Once you select the style of the finished artwork and the medium to be used, Portrait Kingdom will assign you an artist who can best do your project. The commissioned paintings will then receive the artist’s utmost attention. Before you approve the final design, you’ll be given a proof so that you can approve what has been done or request modifications.

Perhaps the hardest thing about creating commissioned artwork is that you’ll need to figure out what you want depicted. Do you want to hang a portrait of a beloved family member in your home? Do you want to memorialize a graduation, wedding, or event from your childhood? Do you have some scenery captured with your digital camera to be turned into a permanent piece of artwork? You have many possibilities available to you, but Portrait Kingdom can handle just about any image you’d like to make permanent.

It’s easy to begin the commission process with only a few clicks of your mouse. After you decide several things about the final image and how it will be displayed, work can start. Your input will be included every step of the way, and you’ll work along with the artist so that you’ll have your beautiful piece of artwork in less than a month. The process is easy and can be started simply by getting in touch with Portrait Kingdom today!
