Welcome to Your Precious Portraits

Your pictures and memories are important to you: your family and loved ones, your pets, special moments in your life, favorite places and more. Photographs are nice, but a digital painting is much warmer and is usually far less expensive to commission than an original oil painting.

Here at Your Precious Portraits, we transform your photos into beautiful digital paintings. And alterations are easier to make, as well as extra prints for other family members and friends.

What is a digital painting?

With a digital painting the artist paints with "digital" brushes; painting with color and light on screen using computer software designed for the artist and illustrator to take painting to the next level.

Here is an example of a digital painting done by Norman Drake .

Above is the original photograph used as a template to create the painting.

The result is richer than a photograph. With a painting, creative license can be taken to improve layout, change color and add a touch of warmth that does not exist in a photo. A digital painting easily can be adjusted to suit your needs.

Digital painting and illustration have more advantages than oil or watercolor. For one thing there is a wider range of color. Adjustments can be easier to make and it is more echo friendly. Additional prints can be made to share with others. For example, both sets of grandparents can enjoy the beauty of a painting of their grandchild.

With Your Precious Portraits, favorite photographs can be transformed into delightful paintings that capture a magic only a painting can deliver.
