How to paint a painting from a photo?
Step 1. The receipt of photo/order
Our artist receives your photo. The person ensures that the quality of your photo is good enough, so details, such as facial expressions, small things, etc. can be seen, see it can be expressed.
Step 2. Sketching the motif
We start from the top left and go towards the right. After preparing the canvas and mixing paint in the correct tones etc. the artist always starts by sketching what is being painted. In the above case, the child is the center. It could also be a car, etc. Then the background is painted.
Step 3. The basic colors are painted
After outlining the painting and the background, the artist begins to add color to the individual, in the above case, the child. You start to be able to see the painting take shape just as quietly, but it is still too early to think about details.
Step 4. Shadows are added to the painting
The painter is allowed to apply paint and shadows so that it harmonizes with the proprieties of the subject and the painting. The artist begins to add characteristics and details, as well as fine-tune lines and brushstrokes.
Step 5. The painting is detailed
The painting is in its final stage. The artist has the thin brush forward and add additional shadows, hair and facial expressions. This phase of the painting is the most time-consuming and requires immense concentration and attention. The last and fourth picture, bottom right, is the finished painting
Step 6. Your artwork is ready
When the artist has applied the last brushstrokes, the painting must dry for some time before it can be framed. When dry, it is strung onto a blind frame, after which a floating frame is handmade for it. The painting is now packed carefully and safely before it is sent to you. The above example took 5 working days to paint.
