Grandkids fishing by Jaylene Jensen (Urbandale, IA, US)

This is my third watercolor I have ordered from this website, each one is of a grandchild. Their work is high quality and the detail work is so beautiful. They are so willing to work with you and give advice so the final picture is appreciated and turns out as good as possible. I would not hesitate to order again

seeing is believingby Diane Kelly (Barneveld, WI, US)

I liked My DaVinci's website better than the others that I saw and also liked the diversity of things that they offered. I took a chance and ordered a pencil sketch. Didn't have a real clear photo for them to work with, but am overjoyed with the end result. I will definitely use them again if I am looking to get this type of product, and have suggested them to family and friends.

Best Friendsby Patti Russell (Kingsland, GA, US)

I shared a photo of my husband and our dog who is nearing the end of his days with us. It is beautiful! I know my husband will cherish this artwork. It is better than I expected. Thank you so very much!

My granddogby Maureen Burt (Spring Lake, MI, US)

This is the fourth picture of my kids dogs. They have been awesome and each one spectacular. I will continue to use your artwork for many gifts. It is a great gift and well worth the money!

Beautiful work, swift, and responsive!by Olivia (Westerville, OH, US)

I was very impressed with my experience with myDaVinci--the ordering process was easy and customer service and my artist immediately reached out, discussed which photo would be their best reference, and assured me they could still customize the painting to include fall foliage (the reference photo was taken in winter). The painting was done much earlier than I expected, and is even more beautiful in person. I bought this for my mom, who is planning to downsize from my childhood home, and I think she will love it!

Thrill of Victory by Ken Skidmore (Mont Belvieu, TX, US)

We could not be more happy with our sketch from myDaVinci. It captured a special moment from a 1979 Texas High School State Championship football game victory. I feel like the sketch turned out better than the actual photograph. Thanks for putting the memory to paper for both coaches and player!

Beautiful by Cheri (Ewing, NJ, US)

This is my 5th art piece from MyDavinci. I absolutely love their artwork. I am truly a customer for life.

So happyby Sonja Rothe (Woodstock, NY, US)

This was my second pencil drawing from my Davinci. They are both fantastic! The second one was for a friend and she and her husband love it as much as I love mine. Both of the fogs are gone now and these portraits are truly a meaningful memorial. Thank you!

Dogs of Sommerby ann sommer (york, PA, US)

I was so happy with your company. From my initial exploratory contact to the finished product, I had nothing but great interactions. My questions were quickly answered. My suggestions to the sketch were followed exactly. The sketch is exactly what I wanted. It was a gift for my 90 year old father in law and he LOVED it. He hung it up in his family room right away. the rest of my family plans to order reprints, too! Thank you so much for this perfect gift

Antique truck watercolor by Bernadette Cummings (Walpole, MA, US)

We just received our watercolor painting of my father-in-law's antique truck. It is absolutely gorgeous. It looks just like the photo. The ordering process and communication was seamless. This is my 3rd order with My Davinci and I will definitely be ordering again!

My 3 dogs by Liz Searson (Fuquay Varina, NC, US)

I sent separate pictures of my dogs, I always wanted a painting of all 3 together, one died years ago, so I thought it would be a nice memory. I couldn’t of been happier with results. Came out so amazing!

Astonishing by Amber Love (Myrtle Beach, SC, US)

I sent them a picture that I needed edited before it was drawn and for no extra charge they created the exact image I wanted. I couldn’t be more pleased with them that I’ve already ordered 2 more and working on another one. They’re so realistic; it’s just top quality hand drawn pencil art. I couldn’t ask for more!!!

Christmas gift that rocksby DMassietx (Houston, TX, US)

This was a Christmas present for my new daughter-in-law, and it was an acknowledgement that she and my son would eventually leave this house. It was a 'future memento' for her to remember where she raised her two daughters and before her life changed forever when she married my son. The first thing she mentioned was the artistry--how well done it was and how well-rendered it was. She was touched but also impressed with the artist's skill. The piece arrived in two weeks, which was really fast given the Christmas rush. Beautiful job!

Picture of houseby Katheen Long (Lake Zurich, IL, US)

My neighbors are moving and we got this for them as a going away present. It was perfect, they said it was the best gift they ever received. DaVinci was fast and it looks so cool as a pencil drawing. They even removed the for sale sign for me.

Father and Sonby Jill Kingslien (La Vernia, TX, US)

I got the first piece when my son was almost 1 for my husband's first Father's Day. I have gotten a father/son picture done about every 3 years. Our son is 15 now and this is the 5th one. It is a wonderful chronical of their relationship as he has grown up. Beautiful work as always. Excellent communication, rapid response and item well packaged and sent promptly.

Beautiful workby Greg Hawes (Houston, TX, US)

We are repeat buyers and always happy with the service and artwork. Response time is fast, and we are given multiple opportunities to review before the final piece is shipped.

Our Dog Pepperby Regina Cloutier (Naples, FL, US)

I was a bit reluctant to order this pencil sketch online because I didn't think the detail would be clear, and it would look more like a "print" than a sketch. I wanted a unique and meaningful gift for my husband, this past Christmas, so I decided to give him a sketch of our dog, Pepper, an all-black German Shepherd. When my husband opened the gift, I almost cried!! The detail of the sketch was absolutely amazing! The artist captured the details of Pepper's eyes, fur, tail, and even the way she was laying on her paw, just beautifully!! We hung our sketch in the Dining Room, where everyone can see and admire this beautiful sketch!

A sketch to last foreverby John Kotek (Bartlett, IL, US)

This is my second sketch from the studio and as I expected it was excellent. They kept me informed of the progress and the line of communication was great. They followed my special request which made the gift all more wonderful. I plan to have more sketches done in the future. This sketch is now the focal point of my house. Excellent job myDaVinci!

baby photoby Leslie Paul (Miami, FL, US)

I like the photo. MAybe I should have previewed it first. I would have like the background to be a little lighter for more contrast. but I was happy with the quality and service. I called to change from paper to canvas, and was taken care of with no problem. came very quickly. thank you.

Absolutely beautiful!by Camille Chadwell (Cheektowaga, NY, US)

Absolutely beautiful! These are my Granddaughter's dogs and she cried when she opened her Christmas gift. Kudos to the artist who did this EXACTLY as I specified. Would absolutely do this again. WELL WORTH THE PRICE!

Love it!by Carol Stamper (frankfort, KY, US)

This has been my “go go” wedding gift for the past 10 years! Superb quality and always well received!

Boazby Cindy Elliott (Mansfield, MO, US)

The sketch was just what I was hoping for. It has touched both me and my husbands heart and we get to see it everyday. The memories it brings are mostly wonderful, although some sad too.

Little Manby Petra Brooks (Hinesville, GA, US)

I submitted a photo of my husband and our recently deceased dog Little Man. When I received the proof of the drawing, I felt it was beautifully done, but the dog in the drawing did not look like our Little Man to anyone looking at it who knew him. I contacted myDaVinci about my concern and they allowed me to send a different photo and did a new drawing, which came out so amazing, looking JUST like our little guy. This was the third time I ordered art from myDaVinci and I am more than pleased and have recommended them many times.

Stunning result!by Nicole Curtis (Gunter, TX, US)

I ordered a pencil drawing from MyDaVinci of my daughter in front of the Eiffel Tower at 9 months old. Recently, at 20, she returned and I knew I had to order another one to display side by side. The artwork is absolutely stunning. The whole process was amazing and the emails throughout were prompt, courteous and helpful. I highly recommend this company.

Very Happy With Purchaseby Mindy Tindle (Reno, NV, US)

My daughter is graduating from high school and I wanted a "fun" gift to go along with her more serious gifts. This totally fit the bill and I was very pleased with the results. I was also extremely happy with how fast the artwork was completed and the fact that they allow you to review the final copy and make any needed changes (didn't have any) before you actually get it.

Our "Harley"by Travis Yates (Palm Bay, FL, US)

The sketch was better than expected. I couldn't have imagined it more beautiful. It's almost as if the artist new our wonderful pet that had just passed. The detail and personality really shows in his facial features. I only wish that the actual artist could be recognized for such wonderful work. Thank you so much from my entire family, you just don't know how much this meant. There will now always be a part of him still watching over us and protecting us. You should really think about making Harley as one of your website samples!

Beautiful Rendition of Oliveby Melissa McCane (Scottsdale, AZ, US)

My friends who lost their precious "Olive" were so touched by this beautiful artwork of her. It was the perfect gift to them to honor her sweet soul! Thank you for the wonderful service and wonderful work.

House Watercolor Paintingby LISA TOMASELLA (Little Falls, NJ, US)

I absolute love MyDavinci's water color paintings. I am a realtor and these make for a perfect "sentimental" closing gifts for my clients.

Five Star Reviewby David Classen (Westampton, NJ, US)

My artwork came out great and on time! And the staff were quick to respond to my emails when I had questions. They did a fantastic job!

Stunning my little Manby Linda Buero (Clinton Twp., MI, US)

The pencil drawing is beautiful. It looks like my baby is looking right at me. Thank you for capturing him, I miss him so much. Joker 9.11.18 - 5.30.23 Gone but NEVER forgotten.
