A portrait of someone you love in the Gallery style
Your subject alone on a single deep olive-umber field, lit from one side — the way museum portraits are painted — from $69, made to order in the United States.
What Gallery does with a portrait. One person, or two, on a deep quiet ground with the light from one side — the museum portrait. A busy photo becomes a calm painting; the face is the only thing in it.
The photo. Daylight, eyes visible, the face filling a good part of the frame. Older, scanned or slightly blurred photos usually work at 8×10 to 16×20. We never smooth, slim or retouch a face.
The size. 16×20 in a hallway; 24×36 for a single face over a console table or a mantel.
How to start. Upload one photo and see it painted in Gallery free, in about fifteen seconds. Leave an email to see the other five styles and make up to three free adjustments. A person checks the full-resolution proof and you approve it before anything prints; if it isn't right, we repaint it free.
