Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosMadam Nicoleby Gracie Adderly (Fayetteville, NC, US)

I purchased this as a gift for a friend that recently purchased a new home. The recipient was in tears. The painting was spot on! It will look perfect over the Fireplace. This is not my first time purchasing from myDavinci. I've made several purchases. The talent is superb! The painting is exquisite... appearing a bit more appealing than the original photo. The price is reasonable- considering the great talent. Of course, I'll be back!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoPerfect housewarming giftby Meg Britton (Stafford, VA, US)

Love how this watercolor painting turned out. I had two requests for changes and fully expected to pay for the second, but no! It was all included in my original price. My recipients are thrilled. Highly recommend using my da Vinci.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosGreat Likenessby Tricia ONeal (Saint Louis, MO, US)

I gave them a picture of my sister and BIL’s Briard Dog. It was done in pencil. It is remarkable. I would have liked a little bit more color but Briards are usually a light fawn, white and this one is 10 and had gray in him. Not much you can do to add color to that. This is going to be their Christmas present. I am very happy with the end product. Would certainly recommend.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsKim and her daughtersby Russell Krivak (Columbia Station, OH, US)

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoBeautiful productby Ellen Teeman (KATONAH, NY, US)

I am very pleased with the way the water color turned out. The process was easy and whenever I had a question I heard back quickly. It would be helpful if they had a phone number to call instead of emails. Also I suggest the if you need to have the product by a certain date you start the process early since it takes a while especially if you need changes. Also it was very well wrapped for shipping.

Custom Royal Portrait and Masterpiece Marie Antoinette from PhotoBeats Dressing Up!by Patricia A. Spayd (Williamsburg, VA, US)

I love myDaVinci artwork. This is the second 17th Century type of painting that I've commissioned and I love it. Nothing like getting an elaborate painting and it's a great plus not having to get all dressed up for it! High quality, promptly shipping and checking to see if any changes are needed. I changed my Ali ring slightly and the modification was made. Even added my black cat!

Personalized Renaissance Portrait Girl with a Pearl Earring from PhotoCaitlin wit a pearl earringby Rita Greco (CHARLESTOWN, MA, US)

I had originally ordered this in 8x10 and loved it so much I ordered a larger size. I absolutely love this rendition of my daughter as Vermeer’s subject.

When I opened the package and saw the piece, tears just came to my eyes it so perfectly suited her face and pose. Thank you so much.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoHappy 100 Years!by Kay Isley (Athens, GA, US)

My daughter’s house turns 100 years old in 2024 and she’s planning a birthday party. I now have the perfect present - a beautiful watercolor! I couldn’t be happier with the painting I received. Every detail is captured. I sent two photos - one taken with Christmas wreaths on the windows and snow on the ground and the other with tree in her front yard in full Fall color. The finished product was perfect. I can’t wait to give it to her so she’ll get it at Christmas. I also ordered the digital file to use on note cards and the birthday party invites. I highly recommend mydavinci.com! I'll be ordering from them again soon.
