Hand Painted Portraits From Photos For Bespoke Gift Giving

By Michelle Lewis


Gift giving is traditional and something we all do. Many occasions require is to purchase items for loved ones, including anniversaries, Thanksgiving, and birthdays. If you are moving to a new city, you may also like to give presents to those you are leaving behind. Or it might be that you have a really close friend that you want to give something special to. Everyone loves handmade presents more. One great idea for bespoke gifts is hand painted portraits from photos.

Everyone prefers a present that was made by hand. But you may not be any good with your fingers or not have time to get creative in order to make a gift. The solution here is to give a bespoke gift that is made for you. Custom portraits and prints that are taken from photos you supply are the perfect way to show someone how much you really care. Getting your friend or family member to sit for a painter is not practical and often not possible at all. So, use a favorite image you already have.

So, let us take a look at what occasions you might like to give a bespoke portrait as a present. Really, the list is endless. So, lets rewind to when we were born and take a look at baby portraits. Everyone has a favorite photograph of their child, and having it made into a custom made print to hang on the wall is an awesome idea.

Canvases are a perfect way to make memories that will stay with us forever. From birth right till death there are hundreds of occasions where you will take photos. When someone dies, you may find that you want a special way to remember them. So, sort through your images you have of them stored away in a drawer or on your computer, and have a hand painted picture made using it. You must agree that it is the perfect way to keep the deceased one close to you and always in your thoughts.

Next, how about leaving home gifts. When a home no longer has children running around, it can look and feel empty. A perfect way to bring warmth back to the family home is to give a gift of a portrait of the children to hang in the lounge room or hall. Perhaps a graduation photo, or maybe a favorite portrait that was taken at a family event.

Just as kids fly the nest and move away, so do we sometimes. We may relocate for work or to follow a love interest, or to travel. When we relocate we leave some great friends behind. So, if you find yourself leaving your best companion behind, give them a portrait of the two of you together as a memory to cherish forever.

If you are not sure which photo to use, take a few along to your local art studio.Here they can help you decide, or alternatively they can take a new photo of you to use for the painting session.

We all make memories and capture them on camera. But what do we then do with those images. In the digital age, most wont be printed, let alone made into a custom crafted gift. So, ensure you turn memories into something you can cherish every single day. Add warmth to your home or the house of a loved one when you bring alive a memory and have it custom painted into a bespoke print.
