How it works

Four steps, and one of them is yours

Step 1: Send the photo

Phone snaps are fine. We look at it the same day and tell you straight away if it won't work — before you've paid anything.

Step 2: Agree the plan

Size, finish, who's in it, whether we're merging two photos. You'll see a preview of the composition before a brush is picked up.

Step 3: We paint it

By hand, in oil, by a classically trained copyist. When it's finished, we photograph it and send you the picture.

Step 4: You approve it

Nothing ships until you've seen a photograph of the finished painting and said yes. If it isn't right, we keep painting.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

Are these really hand-painted?

Every commission is painted in real oil on canvas by professional copyists working in our Xiamen partner studio. Before it ships, we send you a photograph of the finished painting so you can see exactly what you're getting. No prints, no AI fakery — actual oil paint, actual brushes, actual canvas.

How long does delivery take?

Hand-painted oil commissions and reproductions take about three to four weeks to paint, plus delivery, including international air freight from our Xiamen studio. We deliver worldwide and delivery is included in the price; any import duty or tax charged by the country it is delivered to is separate and is yours to pay. Before it ships, we send you a photograph of the finished painting so you know exactly what's coming.

What about copyright?

Every painting in our catalogue is in the public domain — meaning the artist died over 70 years ago, and the artwork is free for anyone to reproduce. We don't copy living artists. For custom commissions, you own all rights to your photograph and the resulting painting is exclusively yours.

Can you really paint my dog?

Yes. Send us a clear photograph (the higher resolution the better), choose a style — Renaissance, Van Gogh, Vermeer, even Hokusai — and we'll paint your pet in that style.

What if the painting isn't quite right?

We send you a final photograph of the painting before it ships, and only dispatch once you approve. Because every piece is hand-painted to your specification, we don't offer change-of-mind refunds — but if anything is wrong with the work in that final photograph, we keep painting until you're happy. If a painting arrives damaged in transit or materially different from the approval photo, we replace or refund in full.

Not a portrait?

We also copy the masters, by hand

A curated wing of public-domain masterworks, each painted to order in oil, in the size you choose — the same studio, the same brushes. Not in the wing? Ask.

Start with the photo you already love

Send it over and we'll tell you honestly whether it will make a good painting. Nothing to pay until you've seen the plan and said yes.
