Let's turn 30 digital pictures into real oil paintings: wedding photos, graduation pictures, pet portraits, or any favorite picture!
About Me
I have always loved art. Growing up in Florence, Italy, I was lucky to see LOTS of it. I've always wanted a portrait of myself like the counts, dukes and barons of olden times used to have made. (perhaps a bit more modernized, although we can also put your face on an antique painting if you'd like!).
I found a way to make this happen at a very reasonable cost, and without the need of any royal title/rank :)
Just as I have done for family members and friends, I would like to give people out there a chance to have their own hand made oil painting on canvas to hang on their wall.
My Goal
I am a graphic designer, so what i do is enhance the digital photos with photoshop, then get them to expert portrait painters here in China, and follow the procedure to ensure a quality finished painting created from that photo. My project's goal is to get at least 30 paintings hanging on your walls to cherish for generations. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but the elegance of an oil painting turns those words into poetry.
How it Works
The process is simple, email me your photo, I will "touch it up" and show it to you again, with your approval we move on to the artists. Then I will send you a picture of the painting, minor changes and fixes can be made, and finally the finished painting is sent to you!
Rewards
This is to give you an idea of what each pledge entails. There are a few examples shown below, and we will be adding an FAQ section soon to make sure everything is clear to you fellow kickstarters!
Thank you all for taking a look at my project. I hope to see some of your pictures being turned in to wonderful paintings real soon!
