GENERAL QUESTIONS
How long is your painting time?
Our painting time is usually 2-5 business days. If you are in a hurry, no worries! We offer, for a little extra charge, the possibility to put your order in the first line. Your custom portrait will be ready, painted, in 1-2 business days.
Do you add body parts and change dress colors?
Basically, we paint what is on the photo you provide.
1. That means if you sent us a blurry or low-resolution photo, we will paint it as is. It doesn't become sharper in the painting. If you would like to restore your photo, please book our restoration service.
2. Basically, we don't add body parts. You get painted what is in your photo. This means if a person in the photo, e.g., has legs cut off, the painting will show the same. If you would like to add body parts, this service can also be booked; please contact us before we start painting.
3. Basically we paint the color shown in the photo. If you'd like to change the color of something in the photo, contact us before we start painting.
4. Basically, we don't paint the original background; we paint a neutral watercolor-style background to put the people in focus. If you like to keep your original background or like to change the background to, e.g., a sunset background, a beach background, etc., please contact us before we start painting.
5. If you book a photo merge service, it is your responsibility to let us know the body sizes compared to the other people in the photo before we start to paint. because we don't know your people
6. If you provide us multiple photos to merge and some of them have no lower body, only heads or upper bodies, we will bring them to the same size.
7. If you want someone in your merge painting in a specific place in your painting, please let us know before we start painting; otherwise, we will decide which is the best arrangement.
What is your paint style?
You will see our style in our shop. It is a watercolor style. If you'd like another style like oil painting or black and white painting, etc., please let us know before we start painting.
What Languages do you speak?
We speak English, German, and Spanish.
Do you offer restoration and recoloring of old photos?
Yes, you don’t need to worry about this. We restore and recolor your old photos before painting for a small additional charge. Feel free to send us your photo—it would be our pleasure to review it for you in advance.
Can I change my order after submitting it?
Yes, you can request changes within 24 hours, but only if we have not started your portrait yet. After that, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make the requested changes.
Can you remove or add things for me?
Yes, please let us know what you want to remove or add to your painting, and for a little extra charge, we would love to help you with your unique project.
Why do you need high resolution images to create my Painting?
We need high-resolution photos to see all the details in your picture. The higher the resolution, the better. If you do not have a high-resolution photo, please send us a message along with your image. We will check whether we can work with it for you.
