I have a picture and would like it transformed into a hand-painted, realistic oil portrait on canvas. I want to paint the picture of the lady with the naked back but replace only the face of the lady in the black tank top into the face of the lady with the naked back. And I will send what face I want to be in [login to view URL] keep the original background exactly as it appears in the picture; and fill out the background as [login to view URL] entire scene is important to me. The finished piece should be oval in shape and fall somewhere within the 24 × 36 inch range (I’ll confirm exact dimensions once we discuss composition and framing). Rich, true-to-life colour, accurate proportions, and subtle brushwork are essential—I’m aiming for a lifelike result rather than an impressionistic or abstract interpretation. I’ll provide the high-resolution reference photo as soon as we start. I’d appreciate a quick sketch or digital mock-up for approval before you commit to paint, along with a couple of in-progress shots so I can see how it’s developing. When the painting is complete, a clear, well-lit photo for final sign-off would be helpful before shipping the canvas to my address, securely packaged to protect the wet or newly dried surface. If this fits your skill set and schedule, let’s talk timing, varnish options, and any care instructions you recommend.
