Oil Painted Portraits: Give a Gift that Lasts a Lifetime
Finding the perfect gift for your friend or loved one this holiday season doesn't have to be frustrating. There are many items you can give that your loved one will delight in for a lifetime. One thoughtful gift idea is to have a stunning oil painting produced from one of your loved one's favorite photos.
The photo used to create the painting can be one of a grandparent, child, close family friend, pet, your loved one's home, or even an important event such as a wedding or anniversary. If there's a particular photo your loved one holds dear to their heart, a painting of that photo will be even more meaningful.
Choose an Ideal Photo for a Beautiful Finish
The type of photo you select for your portrait gift will determine the beauty and quality of the painting. You can choose a photo that will complement your loved one's home. You might even use a photo that's already hanging on their wall!
If you're planning to give a wall portrait, make sure the colors and patterns in the photo harmonize with your loved one's room decor where you think they might hang the portrait. Then, your painting can be a natural addition to the room without your loved one having to redecorate or rearrange things. For tabletop portraits, you can also choose a photo that blends well with your loved one's home.
Portrait Size and Quality
The photo should be clear and unblemished if possible, and preferably taken by a professional photographer for best quality. When creating a wall portrait, consider where they might hang the portrait and find out the measurements of that particular wall space. Choose a size that could fit in several different areas of the home so your loved one will be able to hang it where desired.
Oil Portraits Come from the Heart
A beautifully painted portrait on canvas conveys a message to your loved one that you truly care about their happiness and fulfillment this holiday season. They'll be thrilled that you made a special effort to recreate their most valued memory on canvas.
Giving a painted oil portrait is a great way to add a personal touch to your holiday gift. It's a gift that will be treasured for years to come.

Portrait Painting Atelier (Hardcover) $22.87 The art of portraiture approached its apex during the sixteenth century in Europe with the discovery of oil painting when the old masters developed and refined techniques that remain unsurpassed to this day. The ascendance of nonrepresentational art in the middle of the twentieth century displaced these venerable skills, especially in academic art circles. Fortunately for aspiring artists today who wish to learn the methods that allowed the Old Masters to achieve the luminous color and subtle tonalities so characteristic of their work, this knowledge has been preserved in hundreds of small traditional painting ateliers that persevered in the old ways in this country and throughout the world.Coming out of this dedicated movement, Portrait Painting Atelier is an essential resource for an art community still recovering from a time when solid instruction in art technique was unavailable in our schools. Of particular value here is a demonstration of the Old Masters’ technique of layering paint over a toned-ground surface, a process that builds from the transparent dark areas to the more densely painted lights. This method unifies the entire painting, creating a beautiful glow that illuminates skin tones and softly blends all the color tones. Readers will also find valuable instruction in paint mediums from classic oil-based to alkyd-based, the interactive principles of composition and photograph-based composition, and the anatomy of the human face and the key relationships among its features. Richly illustrated with the work of preeminent masters such as Millet, G¿ricault, and van Gogh, as well as some of today’s leading portrait artists—and featuring seven detailed step-by-step portrait demonstrations—Portrait Painting Atelier is the first book in many years to so comprehensively cover the concepts and techniques of traditional portraiture. |
