Hand Painted Portraits From Photos For Bespoke Gift Giving

By Michelle Lewis


Every year we purchase dozens of gifts for different occasions such as birthdays, Thanksgiving, and anniversaries. There are many more times we give present to loved ones such as when we relocate or at Easter time. Sometimes you will just feel like giving a close friend something special to bond your friendship. We all know that people prefer custom gifts to store bought ones. Hand painted portraits from photos are the perfect method by which to give a gift that is one hundred percent unique.

Hand made presents are fun and they are appreciated a lot more than items bought in a store. But if you are not creative or just do not have the time to make presents, let someone else do it for you. Custom painted portraits taken from photos are hugely popular and it is easy to understand why. It is not always possible to get a friend or family member to sit for a portrait. What is possible though is to take a photo to a portrait maker.

There are so many different times each year that you could give a friend or family member a bespoke portrait. Lets start with babies. When a baby is born, hundreds of photos are taken. So, why not turn your favorite one into a canvas painting for your friend or family member. Having a custom pained print to hang from the wall is the perfect way to capture the miracle of birth.

But, it is not just baby photos that can be made into custom canvases. You can take photos of your family member or friend at any stage in their lives, giving gifts for birthdays and even for bereavement. A family member who passes on can be remembered perfectly when a canvas is painted from a photo in their memory. Far too often our only memories are digital images or tatty photographs.

Next, how about leaving home gifts. When a home no longer has children running around, it can look and feel empty. A perfect way to bring warmth back to the family home is to give a gift of a portrait of the children to hang in the lounge room or hall. Perhaps a graduation photo, or maybe a favorite portrait that was taken at a family event.

Relocation is another time you might consider giving a portrait to someone as a gift. There are many reasons you may be leaving the area, such as for travel or to work interstate. Moving away from an area where we have lived for a long time means leaving friends and family behind. So, leave a gift of a custom painted portrait for your friend or family.

Picking the best photo can be a challenge. Which photograph do you want to use for your painting. If you are unsure, allow the painter or your local studio to help you. Alternatively, have a brand new photo taken.

Capturing memories on camera is something that we all do. But these images are often forgotten about in a drawer or stored to the cloud. So, bring your photographs alive today when you have them turned into portraits, painted by hand. With your photos displayed in pride of place on the wall, you will bring warmth to your home, or add a bespoke touch to the home of your chosen friend or family member.
