The drawing turned out great. I would have given 5 star except for two things. Save your money on the framing, it arrived with the backing already broken and made of cheap materials. Customer service online is auto response only, direct questions do not get answered, only canned responses

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFather's Day gift for the winby Erin Byrne (Arlington, VA, US)

My DaVinci soared above and beyond my expectations for this Father's day gift. They were able to work with me when my photo was too pixelated for an oil painting and helped me switch to a different style. The process was smooth and it is unreal how they were able to capture the photo so flawlessly. I am definitely the favorite kid this year.

Excellent watercolor captures the look and feel of this sentimental property. The artist removed overgrown brush from the scene and really fixed the appearance which had become obscured. The detail is exquisite such as showing individual bricks in the house and chimney. The overall balance of color and texture is sublime.

I purchased this piece for my mother for Christmas. She and my Dad treasure the house they built together, and this was the perfect way to honor it.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFirst Home by Joyce (Novi, MI, US)

My daughter recently purchased her first home. The house is absolutely adorable and she and my granddaughter are extremely happy with it. While thinking of something special to get her for Christmas I came across the myDaVinci site through the New York Times gift recommendations. It looked appealing so I decided to send in a picture of my daughter's home and the result was fantastic. The artist did a wonderful job capturing the essence of the home and followed my instructions to leave off certain non-essential parts of the picture that I sent it. I highly recommend this photo to art site, especially if you are looking for a unique gift for someone special.

Thanks for brining joy and creating memories..myDavinci Team.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoBeautiful work!by Theresa Carter (Dayton, TN, US)

This is my second time ordering from myDiVinci. This time I ordered a picture of my Son to match a picture of my Daughter that I had purchased a while back. The two pictures hanging side by side look stunning! The workmanship is top notch and the customer service cannot be better! This time out there was a problem with the picture I had sent. They Emailed me almost immediately after I had placed my order telling me that the image was too small and was grainy. They advised me that I would not be happy with this image and to send them another one, which I did. They were spot on with keeping me updated on my order and it was here in less than a week. I plan on ordering again and maybe exploring some of their other amazing photo options. But if you want something striking that explodes on your wall, choose this Pop Art option! It's amazing!!

I had not purchased a watercolor before, so I was skeptical, but it turned out exactly how I was hoping. I had to make a few revisions to this piece, and the artist did exactly as requested.
