100% hand-painted and fully customizable. Painting time normally ranges from 5-15 days. You can merge subjects from multiple photos into one painting, re-face a classic painting or different photo (for example painting someone into a classical or renaissance portrait painting), remove things, or change backgrounds. See our gallery for examples of common special requests and instructions.
This is possible but will take some time to conceptualize to canvas. Drawing out the idea, but I believe I could do it and have it done by early December
Because artists are not familiar with the subjects in your photo they can only make them as recognizable of clear as the photo depicts them. But since it is not a digital computer print it should be fine, especially if you can provide separate reference photos of the faces.
Yes. You can supply reference photos of the other people you want to add if you also provide detailed instructions. Keep in mind how they can be added and how natural it will end up looking depend on the quality and orientation/angles of the other photo you are trying to add.
Yes, things and subjects from multiple photos can be merged together into one painting if the orientations are conducive to doing so. To see examples of this being done you can check out our gallery at https://www.instapainting.com/gallery/merge-photos
It cam be pretty close and you can always ask for adjustments after it is finished, but keep in mind our service does not specialize in replicating paintings in this manner.

Hello! The medium the painting is painted in is completely your choice, it would look great in oil, watercolor or acrylic - If you like the 'traditional painting' style of oil (and acrylic) you can choose that and watercolor tends to look more 'casual'. All we/I would need is a link to the image you'd like to have painted - I think all of the artists here on Instapainting work from a link to the reference image. It sounds like a wonderful painting, best wishes to you!
24x36 or bigger is the minimum, but faces may not be that detailed due to lack of space to fit everyone into that size. 36x48 or bigger is recommended for more details.
If you want to request for a specific artist just simply scroll on our gallery and do check the profile of your desired artist then select "Request Artist" and do finish placing your order.
Oil Paintings are always done on canvas. The canvas is the cloth material on which the artist paints. The exact material varies from artist to artist, but is usually polyester, cotton, or a blend of both. If you need something specific, please mention it in the instructions field.
Turnaround times generally range from 5-15 days, regardless of product. The specific turnaround time will vary based on your requirements, your artwork size, and the current level of demand we have in our network. Weather conditions may affect oil painting drying times. Expedited shipping ranges from 3-5 business days, and Economy Saver shipping can take up to 4 weeks for transit. With expedited shipping, most orders are at your door around 3 weeks from ordering, and with economy saver shipping it can take 4-6 weeks. Revision requests and drying time can add to turnaround times. If you need the painting by a specific date, we offer guaranteed delivery deadlines by selecting a delivery deadline date when you configure your painting. Once your order is submitted and we have collected responses from actual artists, you will be able to see their quoted turnaround times based on your order requirements.
If you select the framed option, you will be able to work with the artist to select a matching frame. Because frame options vary based on the artist that accepts your order, you will not be able to see the choices until an artist is matched. Since artists order these from framing shops, generally any moulding design can be ordered for you.
Because Instapainting.com is a platform for independent artists and studios worldwide, we can always find artists who can ship to your country. Just enter your address at checkout! *Please note because Instapainting.com is a United States company, certain sanctioned countries cannot use our platform (these include, but are not limited to, North Korea, Iran, Sudan, Syria, and more)
Instapainting.com is a platform for independent artists and studios, so we do not employ any artists in any specific locations. Artists can register and use our platform from anywhere in the world, as long as they submit portfolio samples that pass our rigourous standards. We have active artists ranging from the United States to Australia, and in many places in between. When you place an order, we look at your requirements and match you with interested artists who will ultimately paint and ship from their home or studio and ship directly to you. Feel free to browse our gallery or our featured artists page to find artists and see their biographies and locations. Normally we will find artists for you, but if you see any artists on our platform that you like, you can request quotations from them on their profile page.
By default, if no instructions are provided, the artist will paint your photo exactly as it is. If the photo does not fit into the size you ordered, they will edit the photo and ask for your approval before starting. If you have complex or non-standard instructions, the artist may provide a photoshop mockup for you to approve so that there are no suprises with the sizes and positions of things. For certain requests such as making a painting in the style of another artwork, the artist cannot do a preview, but we do offer select artistic styles ranging from Picasso to Roy Lichtenstein which you can instantly preview. To try that out, just upload a photo when you configure an item and you will be able to select and preview those styles.
Yes! Just upload the background photo as a second photo when configuring your item, and write in the instructions box to use the file as the background. You can also describe a color or tone in the instructions box for your artist to use if you do not have a specific background photo. You can visit our gallery to view some examples of background replacement paintings.
Just write in the instructions box what people or things you want the artist to remove. If you would like to add something to the photo, just upload the additional photo of that person or thing and ask the artist to add it in. It's that simple! You can visit our gallery to view some examples of adding things to paintings and removing things from paintings.
Just write in the instructions box what you want to change. For example, if someone is frowning, you can ask the artist to paint them with a smile! You can visit our gallery to view some examples of changing things in paintings.
This is a popular request, and of course we have the best artists who specialize in these. To request this type of painting, just upload the photo of the artwork you want to recreate, and then upload headshots of yourself or your subjects in the same poses and positions. Then write in the instructions box where to paint each person. And it doesn't have to be other paintings or artwork. You can paint people into other photos as well! You can visit our gallery to view some examples of re-facing paintings.
When you submit an order through Instapainting it gets put in front of hundreds of artists in our network of independent artists that look at your order details so that we can select the one that specializes in your requirements.
