We offer three exceptional finishes for our portraits:
The Classic
The Classic finish is our conventional, standard finish displaying the realism of a photograph with rich artistic enhancements and is available in every size. Our artist will carefully go through and embellish in all the right areas to make sure you look your absolute best. This portrait is finished with a canvas texture, mounted to artist masonite for durability and beauty, and sealed with a protective coating.
The Masterpiece
Masterpiece Paintings
The MASTERPIECE finish is a commissioned painting that will fit right in with the art collections around your home. The rich brushstrokes are created by hand and the colors are custom selected to compliment the subject matter. Once it's applied to museum grade artist's canvas and covered with layers of lacquer, your portrait has a life expectancy of 100+ years. This archival product will be passed down for generations.
The Masterpiece finish is our most exquisite offering and the closest thing to getting a master oil painting done. Because of the amount of labor involved, we can only finish a very finite amount of Legacy Portraits per year. As a result, they are limited to sizes 30” or larger.
In our Masterpiece finish, the portrait is rendered entirely as a painting. Our artist commences digitally in a program developed specifically for traditional painters. The artist chooses her brush, the exact number of bristles on her brush. She mixes her paint colors and decides the precise amount of paint to apply to the brush. She then chooses the angle, the pressure, and brush technique, just as one would with a traditional oil painting. After the artist is finished, we carefully create archival quality pigments to bleed into a unique museum-grade canvas from Germany. The end result is a spectacular portrait that is truly one of a kind. Because of the special materials that we use, our Masterpiece Portraits are rated for 250 years before any fading takes place.
The Old World
Our Old World finish goes beyond the Masterpiece finish creating You can read more about our Old World process on our Paintings page.
