6 Frequently Asked Questions for Custom Oil Portraits

Q1: How can I confirm my custom oil painting is truly hand-painted?
        We provide 3 easy proofs:

  • Live Progress Updates: Request photos/videos of the artist working (48-hour notice required).

  • Texture Close-Ups: Zoomed-in photos showing real brushstrokes (no prints or digital transfers).

  • Simple Smudge Test: Gently rub the canvas with a cotton swab dipped in water. Real oil paint will smudge slightly, while prints won’t.

       Tip: 98% of customers verify authenticity using these methods.

Q2: Can you turn old, blurry photos into paintings?
       Yes! Our artists and AI tools work together to:

  • Fix blurry faces and backgrounds.

  • Adjust lighting to look natural.

  • Send you 2-3 draft sketches for approval before painting.

Q3: What photos work best?

  • DO: High-resolution images (phone/camera photos okay).

  • AVOID: Screenshots, heavily filtered selfies, or group photos where faces are smaller than a coin.

       Free Service: Send us your photo for a free “Art Readiness Check.

Q4: How close will my Van Gogh, Claude Monet’s reproduction look to the original?
       We use a 3-step system:

  1. Color Matching: Advanced scanning captures 1,500+ color points.

  2. Texture Recreation: Artists recreate thick brushstrokes layer by layer.

  3. Final Check: You review an 85% completed preview and request changes.
