Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsHannahby Ted Streuli (Oklahoma City, OK, US)

"Hannah" was one of six pencil sketches I've had my DaVinci do of dogs, all as gifts to friends and family members. Each has been completed on time and the artist has done a beautiful job -- I've never been disappointed. And the recipients have all been thrilled.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoChristmas 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!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoIrish Setter Watercolorby Lynn Smith (Avon Lake, OH, US)

I was extremely pleased with the watercolor portrait of our Irish Setter. This was intended as a birthday gift for my husband and I was worried about the detail quality of the photo I was uploading for the artist to use. But the artist did a wonderful job capturing all the special details we remembered about our dog & even made the small modification I requested after the initial preview. The whole process went very smoothly & we plan to order again from “my DaVinci.”

Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingPerfect!by Barbara E. (Southeastern PA, US)

Not only did the oil painting capture such a fantastic memory of our little guy, they were able to improve the quality of the photo to get an even better image to work from.

Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingExcellent quality!by L Swift (Chesterfield, MO, US)

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosPortrait of Bo Roseby JOHN BARTEL (Lewisville, TX, US)

I have had many pictures prepared by the talented artists at myDaVinci, but this is one of my very favorites. It's a picture of my new granddaughter Bo Rose who is named after my wife Roseanne. The artist has captured the beauty of her little face and her curiosity about the world. I really love it!

Personalized American Gothic Masterpiece from PhotosA custom masterpiece!by Tiffany Chin (Long Beach, CA, US)

I gifted this piece of art to my future in-laws for the holidays, and it was a hit.!! The customization process was seamless. I got to select one of my favorite photos (which I may add, was not easy to photoshop!), customize a frame to my liking, and the rest was history. Customer service was also top notch. I had originally submitted a photo that was too low of resolution and was contacted right away to correct that problem. The end product truly exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly order from these pros again.! Thank you!!

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.

Watercolor Pop Art Portraits from PhotosBeautiful Workby Kim Voorhees (Piscataway, NJ, US)

I order two prints for my parents of their great Granddaughter for Easter. I gave to both of them today. The pictures were just beautiful and touched them so much. Great job by this artist and the one who did my another one. I have been using Mydavinci for close to 15+ years so you can guess I love their products.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoGreat work - gift recipient loved it!by Andrew C (Allston, MA, US)

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoHome portraitby Susan Bezek (Penfield, NY, US)

I received a gift certificate to MyDavinci from friends when they knew I would be selling my home. The home I was selling was the one we raised our family in. I had the opportunity to take pictures of the house during the spring when our weeping cherry tree was in blossom. The watercolor of my home captured it beautifully and will be a keepsake for years to come. One piece of advice for others would be to be mindful in selecting a frame. The frame I chose was wider than I anticipated.

This was my second order with My DaVinci - we have made a tradition of getting a sketch done of baby and daddy for each one of our kids. Just like the first, I was very happy with the results of our artwork and I will be back again when more kids come our way!

I had 3 portraits commissioned from my DaVinci and couldn’t be happier. They worked with me and provided me my portraits quicker than I even expected. They are going to make great Christmas presents for my daughter that got married in October. Thank you all so much!

Personalized Masterpiece A Royal Couple from PhotosBeyond impressedby Jeff (Bentonville, AR, US)

Purchased this as a wedding gift for a family member. This was last minute as they decided to get married only a couple weeks ago. The couple does all their RenCon festivals so I thought what better gift than a royal painting! I downloaded the appropriate pictures 8 days before the wedding. The next day received a review of what the canvas would look like and approved the picture. To my surprise I got a tracking number showing the canvas had been shipped and the canvas arrived 7 days after I ordered! This thing turned out great, was impressed not only with the quick turn around but also the quality of the print. I did not expect to have it in time to give the couple at the wedding but I did, and they loved it! Thank you so much for the quality work, expedited shipping, and excellent communication along the way!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoProfessional perfection by Matthew Lawrence (Portland, OR, US)

I gave the artist a challenging assignment - a photo of our cabin at night, with lights pouring out of large windows. Their standard approach seems to be to portray a house in daylight so they were initially unsure what the true colors should be. They asked for additional pictures to indicate that, and quickly produced a beautifully rendered watercolor of the cabin as it would appear in daytime - with a time lapse video showing the picture being painted! They sent a picture of the first image for my review. I was impressed by the quality but had been hoping for the more dramatic night time scene. They adjusted the tones and colors (not easy with watercolor, I’m sure) and I’m very pleased with the final result. The painting is impeccably rendered and I’m quite pleased by the result. I highly recommend this service and give high marks for the customer service and quality control.
