Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingAmazing Detail and Wonderful Giftby Daughter (Charlestown, MA, US)

I ordered this for my mother who recently sold her family's home of 60 years. I chose a picture that I knew that she loved, because it had my grandmother in the front drinking her coffee. I requested that the person in the front and the little white horse on the lawn be included in the painting and was told that, because they were so small that the artist would only be able to include them as an outline. That was not a problem for me. The finished product was absolutely amazing. Not only was my grandmother and the white horse included, but the artist also included a bird feeder that was on the lawn that I hadn't even seen in the picture. My mother was so happy with the painting that we have ordered additional prints to give to other family members. I absolutely would recommend myDaVinci to others.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGreat artworkby Magen Vanlanduyt (McHenry, IL, US)

Order went smoothly aside from me having a hard time finding a photo that was big enough to be able to get all the details. Obviously is not the artist fault but mine. They did a great job

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosHappy Wifeby Monte Small (Bridgeport, WV, US)

My wife was very happy with her Christmas gift, an oil painting of her picking out our new puppy. Customer service was very helpful with the preparatory process, the artist did a masterful job, and shipping was quick. I would highly recommend myDaVinci.com!

Paris Pop from Photoscaptures my parents beautifully! by Mike DiCarlo (Long Valley, NJ, US)

The original of this photo of my parents was just black and white, and was one of those tiny photo booth photos that they probably had taken before they were married. So I had to guess at the colors. I loved the Paris pop art style, it merged the old with the new. The artist did a great job working with me based on my preferences. Thank you!

1 Panel Pop Art Portraits from PhotosKen Grant - Piperby Ken Grant (Parker, CO, US)

this came out very nice. It was a present for my better half and she loves it. I don't know why it says "Ken" in the lower corner. No worries. It will be a nice piece for my spouse's office.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMy daughter & granddaughterby Donna Emerick (Bridgeport, NE, US)

In searching online for an unusual, memorable gift for my daughter's first Mother's Day, I found your site. The order process was very easy and I was DELIGHTED with the picture. I love the fact that I was able to preview the artwork and request changes before it was shipped to me. My daughter is one of those who rarely, rarely cries, but when she saw the lovely pencil sketch, she sobbed. Thank you! My only "complaint" would be that I didn't receive my artwork in time for Mother's Day because I requested a change, and it slowed down receipt of the artwork by several days. This wasn't a problem for me because it turned out that I didn't see my daughter until a few days after Mother's Day. So, if ordering for a special occasion, be sure to order well in advance. Bottom line--I love the artwork so much that I am ordering again for my son-in-law for Father's Day! Thanks again!

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosMy Father Lives onby Rui Sousa (Vernon, CT, US)

My Father died on June 4th, in making preparations we found that we did not have a really good photo of him to display for the funeral. After searching for day's we found one. We tried to enlarge it ourselves, and found that we could only make it so large before it lost its impact. A friend suggested having it turned into a painting. The cost was minimal and the finished product's value to my family far outweighed the financial impact. I recommend My Davinci.com to anyone I can now.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoA-MAZINGby Farah Sharbek (MAYFIELD VILLAGE, OH, US)

This was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He has always wanted an English Bulldog and finally got one. I thought it would be a great idea to make an ANDY WARHOL Painting of his dog and he absolutely fell in love. The smile did not leave his face. He took it to his friends to show them, and he also took it to his Aunts to show all his relatives Christmas Day. He was not expecting it either, which made it ten times better! Thank you so much myDaVinci!!!! I will definitely be getting more paint work from you!

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.

extremely impressed with the whole experience. We wanted a different gift for my brother's 50th birthday so I found an old photo of him working on one of his first cars. Da Vinci turned it into a unique personal gift. Thank you so much

I bought 1 for my second grandson's, baptism . Mom and Dad loved it so much that we had one done of our first grandson from his birth picture.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoNice Art, Better People by Aaron Ganz (Odessa, TX, US)

Happy with the painting but I’d mostly like to thank the team for helping when shipping ran late. The team was on it, communicated well, and helped ensure we were happy with everything. Lots of good products, buts it’s wonderful- and rare nowadays- to find exceptional customer service.

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!

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 ArtistsAspenby Beth Durbin (Allison Park, PA, US)

This is the second dog sketch we have purchased through myDavinci The sketches are exceptional. The attention to detail in capturing, not only each dog’s physical characteristic, but their soul is uncanning. Any requests for changes are immediately addressed and done exactly as requested. Each sketch was completed and received as promised and in a most timely fashion. This is an outstanding company from product to customer service. If I could give more than a five-star rating, I would. If you are considering having a sketch made of a beloved pet, you have found the best. Your search ends here.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoExcellent gift and excellent customer serviceby Carmi (APO, AE, US)

Running out of ideas for gifts? This is a perfect gift for any occasssion. I sent this as a Christmas present for my in-laws. I ordered way too early and asked if the company could hold it until a few days before Christmas and they did! The painting turned out so well and my in-laws are ecstatic. It is truly a unique gift to give to someone who has everything else in life.

Personalized Mona Lisa Masterpiece from PhotoOutstanding!by Edward Leighton (COEUR D ALENE, ID, US)

I was truly WOWED! Creating orders with myDavinci is extremely easy. I simply sent in a background pic I had found and had myDavinci add my head from a photo. They even re-sized my head shot as requested. Shipping is fast and my art was very well packaged. I have made several purchases and have been extremely pleased with them all. I am looking forward to future purchases. I would highly recommend trusting myDavinci with your artistic creations.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsTruckby Anna S. (Edgewood, WA, US)

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

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!

Custom Caricature from Photos for Individuals, Couple, Family, Kids and Groupfast, quick, preciseby Neeru Chopra (Rome, GA, US)

I was a pain to DaVinci!! I edited and re-edited my picture again and again --- but the artist I worked with was great!!!!! I would describe to him/her what I wanted and he/she would deliver with extreme precision. I was so happy with the final product and the person I gave this gift to (a professor at med school) was also very happy! He loved it! I already know that I will come back and purchase from DaVinci again!! ALSO - they were very fast at delivering what I needed (for some extra money of course - but hey thats professionalism!!). Go for it - dont think twice, this site is a keeper

Was hoping to catch the emotion and feeling of my children in this particular moment, One of which may only have meaning to me and my wife as we were there, but I feel did a great job as that anyone sees it would love it. I was really thrilled on how it came out and we do it all over again just the same if I had to. Super pleased!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsAstonishing 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!!!
