Turn Any Picture into a Painting with Paint Your Life

Bring Photos to Life!

Snapping a photo on your phone or finding an old photo in that tucked away storage bin in the garage- no matter the image, Paint Your Life can turn that picture into a one of a kind, hand painted piece of art with just a few steps. From gift giving to adding a personalized touch to your home or office, a custom hand-painted (and framed if you like) painting can be an amazing way to give life to your photos.

Paint Your Life hooked up our crew with a customized painting for the office and we could not be more thrilled with how it turned out. Working with over 300 professional portrait artists from around the globe, artists work in physical studios, personal studios or even from home to bring any image to life- and we mean ANY image.

INITIAL IMPRESSION

Jumping into Paint Your Life is really simple and easy to do- The How It Works process on the website outlines how simple it is to upload and image and see it transformed into a hand painted masterpiece in a matter of minutes!

Our crew jumped on the site and started an order. You can easily choose from portraits of people and even your pets- or go with a basic “unsure” piece if you want to upload an image that doesn’t fit the categories outlines. Then from their you simply pick what type of painting you want- from mediums such as colored pencil, charcoal, to oil and more. Let Paint Your Life pick your artist, or you can browse their directory for the style and work that matches your vibe.

Simply upload the photo you want painted, and move on towards the submission to review. That is all. From there, wait for the artist to hit you up with mockups, a sample sketch to review, and green-light when you are ready. You have full control the whole time over the look, the background choices and once ready to order- you even can pick how it is framed.

The concept is simple and straightforward, doesn’t take up a lot of artist choice from you, and can be ready to paint in the matter of just a couple days. Once painting is ready, shipping is free, and they offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee! How amazing is this?

TESTING IT OUT

Now that our crew found an office image to go with, we were ready to test the process out. Much debate went into what to have painted (because the options are endless). Do we go with a image of our logo? Do we put our founder above the fireplace like Batman would do? Do we paint our crew at the company picnic?….decisions decisions…..

Our crew uploaded an image we finally all agreed on, picked our painting options and let Paint Your Life choose the artist- cause what the heck do we know about artists? Once our picks were made, our inbox was flooded with updates, next steps and progress of the painting.

Alerts of approving proofs, making adjustments where needed, and beyond kept us well informed. At times the emails seemed to not align with the steps (such as we had approved the order and were notified we still needed to do this again). But aside from the technical aspects here and there, the process, communication, and of course product was a major win!

The Process:

Overall we ranked this 9/10. With the email issue here and there it docked it a bit, but the start of ordering, uploading, and proofing an image- it could not have been easier and cooler to watch as it progressed to the final stage.

The Value:

Overall we ranked this 10/10. With a custom painting like this from ANY photo, shipped and framed, it could not be better. Each painting just felt like it had passion behind it, from a real artist.

The Result:

The result was better than we could have imagined. We could see how this could be such an amazing gift for a loved one, a way to turn and snapped picture into a centerpiece, and a cool way to add some custom design to the crib or office.

BRAND INFO

We opened our studios in 2006 with the intention to create a platform that provided a quality experience in portrait art. We put together an incredible group of artists, built some great tech to support our goals, and began delivering custom art. We realized pretty quickly into our journey that we were doing something more than just delivering hand-made portraits, we were delivering an experience that celebrated some of life’s most precious moments.
