I’m currently working on a project that will hopefully be a very special Christmas gift for someone I’ve never met. A man serving in our armed forces who is deployed right now wanted to do something very special for his wife for Christmas, and he enlisted my help in turning a couple of small snapshots into artwork. What a sweetheart! He’s going to get major brownie points for planning this far ahead! I’ve completed one of the pictures (seen here) and am now working on the second which will be a full color picture of their precious baby.

This is what I like to call digital painting. The original pictures are very low resolution and extremely pixeled. In Photoshop, I upsized these pictures, cropped them to the desired dimensions, than I created a new layer above the photo and “painted” over the first layer giving it the appearance of a handpainted picture. This will be printed on gallery wrapped canvas, and I wish I could see the final product, but I’ll have it shipped directly to my client. I LOVE what a photo looks like printed on canvas, and it automatically creates such a great piece of artwork that doesn’t even need a frame.

Let me know if you are interested in a digital painting of your own shapshot or any other photo editing or design needs. Click on the images below to see larger versions.
