Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoGrandchildrenby David McKissick (Manassas, VA, US)

I had this made for a lady I love from a photo of her grandchildren. Actually I used a couple of photos and I was almost a pest in asking for changes which were done. Everyone who has seen this painting marvels at it. It is a keepsake. Thank you.

The result of the photo I sent in was amazing. The pop art of my granddaughter was perfect. It was a gift for my daughter and son-in-law and when they opened it, it was so great to see their jaws actually drop. They were stunned and so surprised. The communication between myself and myDaVinci was excellent. They really delivered with a wonderful product which was delivered exactly at the time they promised. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch Artistspencil sketchby ANNE MARIE CALIENDO (COMMACK, NY, US)

This is the second time i'm purchasing from mydavinci - and both times the results are amazing! The first was a pencil sketch of my newborn twins - it was a unique and wonderful first father's day gift for my husband. The artist was so patient with me as we got the twins faces just right! The second was a sketch of a friends brand new house. The builder of this home - who ended up seeing the sketch - couldn't believe how beautiful it was - and my friend loved it. What a unique and reasonably priced gift! I'm a customer for life. And, the turnaround time cannot be beat!

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosExcellent work and great service!by Elmer Tolentino (Livermore, CA, US)

This company was very patient and professional, helping me getting the work done to my satisfaction and in a timely manner. I actually did not approve the first 3 versions of the work but it did not matter. They continued to work with me through the various interations until I was completely happy. The final work of art was done beautifully and the look on my Wife's face when she saw the portrait will forever be remembered. Thanks MyDaVinci! I am a customer for life. Jon from California
