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.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFamily Homeby Nicholas Thomas (Kowloon Tong, , HK)

This was a great present. A wonderful way to capture memories that mean so much to all of us. The ordering process was very smooth and the painter responded very quickly to our requests. When we had a query, the customer service was equally fast and professional. The finished product was very close to the original photo but with that added depth that only a painting has. I’d highly recommend DaVinci artworks.

Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingMy Little Boy Bradyby Steve Riggs (West Warwick, RI, US)

I can't thank you enough for the gift you gave me of Brady's portrait. It's perfect and looks just like him. It's been three months since he passed away at almost 16 years old. I had the painting for a week before I could open it because the loss is still so raw. When I did I was thrilled, and still sad, at the same time. Thank you My Davinci for creating a treasure I will cherish forever.

Mr. Peepers (Mel) is a rescue cat, who rescued who? Mr. Peepers is the light of my mothers life and she loved this picture I took recently of him so I knew I had to do something special for her. I right went to MyDavinci to create something she can smile every time she goes into her living room and she does. Thank you again for making such wonderful life time gifts or your customers.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsStunning workby Amy Fountain (Cooperstown, NY, US)

I was looking for a gift for my husband and we had a pencil drawing of when our girls were younger and I wanted to update it. I found mydavinci online, uploaded my picture and received a proof and the final product about a week later. We were all very pleased with the drawing, everyone raved at how good it was, impressed with the detail and likeness with the picture. This is a gift that will last a lifetime and I would definitely use again for future work/gifts.

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosFabulous by Brenda Ball (Spring, TX, US)

MyDaVinci worked very well with me as the artist had to draw 20 people in the final picture. One person had to be added into the final picture. The individuals in the drawing look great. They also created a new background so it would look like the group is outside. I definitely would recommend MyDaVinci for any hand painted pictures.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsWife and her late fatherby Josh Gautreaux (Port allen, LA, US)

Artist matched the picture perfectly. Her father passed rather quickly from a short but intense battle with cancer. This picture shows how soft and lovable of a man he truly was with his daughters. Beautiful piece that we will treasure forever.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoHank's portraitby Joe Herzig (San Diego, CA, US)

The picture turned out amazing! The FedEx delivery was either stolen or lost by FedEx and myDaVinci was able to send an electronic copy so that I could print it out and still give it as a Christmas gift. I cannot thank them enough for their help and support and amazing art!

My Davinci did an amazing job on my artwork. They truly took the time to include all details of the image.

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!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosExcellent service!by Glenn Mercer (Cleveland Heights, OH, US)

Transparent options and pricing, fast delivery, all terms as promised, fine work by the artist (I should have started with that!). This is an excellent idea that benefits everyone: customers get something more than Just One More Photo and artists make a bit of income. Good work!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGreat keepsakeby Rita Keeling (Fishers, IN, US)

I LOVE the pencil sketch of my home. I had made a lot of modifications through the various emails that were sent to me. MyDavinci wanted to make sure the sketch was exactly what I wanted. They removed some of the larger trees that were obstructing the view of the house, which I had requested. It turned out just perfect.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoGranddaughter in Gardenby Jaylene Jensen (Urbandale, IA, US)

This watercolor is so beautiful and done so well. The first one I received the haircoloring was a little blonde, I requested to redo it to look more auburn. It is perfect. I can't say enough good things about this website and it's artists. I have had four watercolors done and they're all so special.

This portrait is a Christmas gift for a grandfather. The photo I provided had a lot of other people on the beach. The artist eliminated it and created a gorgeous portrait of a young girl with a ocean background , as requested. It is stunning and it will be a Christmas present for the girl’s grandfather.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMale bondingby Frieda Herman (Magnolia,, DE, US)

While I had a little difficulty at the beginning of the process, once the photos were resent, I am very pleased with the results. I love having a preview and input for changes to the end result. In my case, the baby had a hat in the photo that I asked be removed. This is my second experience with you and I am again very pleased. I also recommend you to people who see the artwork and ask where it was done. Thank you.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosLittle Manby Sterling Wolf (Wylie, TX, US)

We lost our four year old little man unexpectedly five months ago. It has been difficult since he was so young. I gave this to my wife and she burst out in tears. The details are amazing and there is no question it’s Bruce. You captured his essence and joy in his expression. Thank you for helping us honor his life and be able to see him as he was, daily.
