Colour Pastel Portrait by Stan Hurr, UK Portrait Artist

PORTRAITS FROM PHOTOS

Stan is a professional UK artist who can be commissioned to paint your portrait in oil on canvas, pastel, charcoal or pencil. You can commission your hand painted portrait easily through this website, just have a look at the examples below and choose your preferred medium.

An artistic representation creates something that photography cannot replicate. Extra life, more vibrant colour create a more vivid image, with the texture of the medium and high-quality paper resulting in a beautiful and premium look for your memories.

Family portraits or groups can be done from separate photos.

 

PORTRAITS BY STAN HURR

Many of my portrait commissions are for special occasions. Birthdays, wedding anniversaries, retirement, or family members who have passed away. I can re-unite families from separate photos. Up to any number can be drawn or painted in one composite picture. A large percentage of my orders are referrals or clients who regularly come back for my services.

Portraits from photos are rendered in oil paints, coloured pastels, charcoal or pencil.

Portraits usually take 2 weeks to deliver, but if the portrait is needed quickly it can be prioritised. Jobs can be completed in a short time e.g. – within a few days for colour pastels or charcoal portraits. Oil portraits need time to dry, which can take up to an additional 4 weeks.

Can portraits be done from photos?

Yes. 75% of Stan’s time is spent drawing from photos. He can work from all kinds of photos whatever the condition. One of Stan’s favourite parts of his job is to unite families in one composite portrait — even when some of the photos are very old and blurry.
