A portrait of someone you love in the Impressionist style
Broken colour, loose dabs of pure pigment and a garden suggested rather than described — a luminous, high-key painting from your photo, from $49.
What Impressionist does with a portrait. The gentlest style for children, couples and family photos taken outdoors: loose dabs of colour, a garden suggested rather than described, faces kept but softened the way light softens them.
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 16×24. We never smooth, slim or retouch a face.
The size. 16×24 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 Impressionist free, in about 20 seconds. Your first three paintings are free; leave an email for as many more as you like, and change up to five details free. A person checks the full-resolution proof, and you see it before anything prints; if it isn't right, we repaint it until it is.
