A customised portrait from a photo can be a beautiful and everlasting art gift suiting many occasions such as birthdays, graduation days, Christmas, father’s day, mother’s day, retirement parties, anniversaries, weddings, Valentine’s day and many other celebrations.

Today, the worldwide web makes it quite easy to buy portraits from photos via one of the many online portrait art providers. However, before you order a custom portrait online it is advisable to take some time finding the most professional and reliable portraitists on the internet. By doing some online research first you’ll avoid the disappointment of having to pay too much money for low quality art paintings.

You’ll soon discover that most of the online suppliers offering the cheapest portrait art are mainly based in China and India but when taking a closer look at the portraits from photos created by their ‘artists’ you will certainly see the artistic quality of the work is of low standards. You should compare the portrait art samples on their websites with those published by the more professional and reputable online portraits commission services.

This does not mean that the most expensive charcoal pencil and canvas paintings are also the best! Many European, British and American online portrait paintings suppliers offer very expensive artworks.
