Custom Oil Portrait From Your Photo, Hand-Painted by a Real Artist
Egret Atelier turns a photo you love into a real oil painting on canvas. You see a free digital preview first, and only pay once you decide to have a professional artist paint it by hand. It is a real hand-painted keepsake — never a print, and never AI-generated art.
What it is: a made-to-order oil portrait, hand-painted from your photo.
Try it free: upload a photo and see a digital preview before you spend anything.
Price & time: from $249; about 3–4 weeks with worldwide tracked shipping.
How it works
- 1. Upload a photo. One clear, well-lit photo works best (up to three for custom pieces).
- 2. See a free digital preview. In about a minute you get a digital mockup of your portrait — free, no credit card.
- 3. Choose size & order. Pick your canvas size and optional frame; you see the exact price first.
- 4. A real artist paints it. A professional artist hand-paints your piece in oil on canvas, brush by brush.
- 5. Finished & shipped. Your painting is varnished, gallery-wrapped, optionally framed, and shipped worldwide with tracking.
What you can turn into a portrait
- Pets — dogs, cats and companions, painted with their real markings and expression. See custom pet oil portraits.
- People & couples — anniversaries, weddings, engagements and everyday portraits.
- Families — multiple people in one composition.
- Memorial keepsakes — a lasting way to remember a person or pet dearly loved.
Real oil painting, not a print or AI image
To be clear about how it works: the free preview is an AI-generated concept mockup, so you can picture the composition, mood and colours with no risk. The product you receive is different — a professional artist paints it 100% by hand in oil, with real brushwork and texture you can see and feel in person. Never a print, never AI art.
