Portrait Information

Photograph to Portrait Painting

Memories of Enchantment has taken the simple photograph to new heights. What was once a precious picture becomes a beautiful work of art to be handed down from generation to generation. Our artists specialize in taking the snapshot of the home photographer and producing with the aid of a computer and Giclée (jhee-clay) printer a

beautiful portrait painting on canvas. Although technology makes this process possible, the true beauty of the work does not come from the technology, but from the portrait artist interpreting the image. With various computer paintbrushes, he free-hand paints every brushstroke of color within the portrait while maintaining the exact likeness of the subject. With considerations of light, color, contrast and composition, he creates elegant works of art full of emotion and enchantment. He can remove unsightly background objects and facial blemishes, enhance colors, and use light and shadow to increase contrast, and add depth and drama.

As an added artistic touch, the portrait artist can highlight the painting with oil paints mixed to match the unique color palette of that special piece. A proof is then printed. If it meets our highest standards, it is printed on the finest canvas using the highest quality archival inks on a Giclée printer. Before being stretched, it is coated for protection from UV rays and scratching and soiling. The image that was once just a photo is now an artistic treasure destined to become an heirloom.

Once we have recieved your order, you don't have to wonder what happened to your picture or when you will get it back. We're only an email or phone call away. Every portrait becomes very personal to us because we know it is very personal and special to you. Our goal is to immortalize in the form of art an image too precious to be forgotten; too precious to be treated as ordinary. The customer's approval, satisfaction and joy are our greatest reward.
