What’s Paint Your Life about?
Paint Your Life is all about capturing memories with its hand-made portraits, those important people in your life that you want to put down to posterity. Working from photographs, its portfolio of talented artists bring your commission to life, creating the ultimate layout and personalised work of painting or drawing.
How to commission a portrait from a photo
The process is very simple, taking you through the various steps from selecting the template of your subject based on the number of sitters or object (pet/house/landscape), the medium you prefer, which could be oil, watercolour, charcoal, pencil, acrylic and so on. It's then time to pick an artist and you have the option to choose one yourself or leave Paint Your Life to select the artist best suited to the subject matter. If you’re interested to see how the painting comes together, you can request a personalised video.
Custom art
Upload your photograph or the artist can create your personalised art from multiple photos. At this stage, you can ask the artist which layout might work best. All the while, you can tweak how the work of art will look with unlimited revisions and online proofing. Prices start at £169 for a one person portrait, 20x25 cm and with the exclusive GWG discount below, the prices can be even lower.
To make the job even easier, Paint Your Life will frame your picture so it’s ready for gifting. It takes a mere twelve days for your hand-painted portrait to be delivered, with free UK p&p. And Paint Your Life offers 100% of your money back if you’re not satisfied.
