There is something so special about capturing important childhood moments through art. For clients who love the uniqueness of custom mixed media portraits, the journey of creating an oil painting of those moments is such a fun and rewarding process. Mixed media oil portraits integrate several art techniques into one single heirloom portrait. For these bespoke portraits, the fusion of digital and traditional painting techniques bring them to life, creating a piece that goes beyond traditional boundaries. The digital aspect lends itself to precision and intricate detailing of each little one, ensuring an exact likeness, while the traditional brushstrokes showcase the olde world style of custom oil portrait paintings. This style of art is so special, and is truly the best of both worlds.
Recently, I had the privilege of crafting a portrait painting for this child. Her mom had her own special portrait made at the same age, so the legacy continued with her daughter. We photographed the reference images in their living room; it was a quick photo shoot that captured many different expressions for her. Her parents then chose one special image they felt perfectly encapsulated their little girl.
Once her painting was completed, it was framed in a traditional gold frame, adding a touch of elegance and timelessness to the artwork. The ornate details of the frame complement the richness of the painting, as well as this client's decor perfectly. Delivered ready to hang on the wall, this bespoke mixed media oil painting became an instant focal point in their living room.
For clients who seek more than just a portrait – who desire a unique and meaningful piece of art that tells a story – bespoke oil paintings offer a perfect blend of artistic innovation and emotional connection. Each stroke of the brush, whether digital or traditional, contributes to a true heirloom that will be cherished for generations to come.
