How we paint your Beverly Hills portrait

1. You upload your photo.

   From the comfort of your Beverly Hills home, you upload one to five reference photos via our six-step commission flow. We accept JPG, PNG and HEIC files. Additional reference shots help with details – hair texture, jewellery, skin tone in different light.

2. We assign a trained oil painter.

   Within 24 hours we match your commission to one of three artist tiers – Junior, Up-and-coming, or Experienced – based on the package you have chosen. Every artist on our roster is classically trained in oil portraiture.

3. Sketching, underpainting and the first colour pass.

   Your artist begins with a charcoal sketch on a primed canvas, then lays down a tonal underpainting in burnt sienna or raw umber. The first colour layers establish the structure of the face and the overall composition.

4. Refinement and detail work.

   Subsequent layers build up the likeness – bone structure, expression in the eyes, fabric texture, hair, hands. This is the longest stage and the one that separates a competent likeness from a portrait that genuinely captures who someone is.

5. Preview, varnish and delivery to Beverly Hills.

   Before the painting is varnished and shipped, we send you a high-resolution preview by email. You can request small adjustments at no charge. Once approved, your portrait is varnished, dried, gallery-wrapped, and dispatched to your Beverly Hills address by tracked, fully insured courier.

Pricing & sizes for Beverly Hills customers

Our pricing is transparent and tier-based – the size you choose, multiplied by the artist tier, plus optional VIP express delivery. The most-ordered size in California is the 16 inch by 20 inch canvas. Beverly Hills customers commissioning for formal living rooms or grand entrances often choose 24 by 30 or larger.

Venues, occasions and gifts in Beverly Hills

Over the past few years we have delivered portraits to Beverly Hills customers commissioning for an extraordinary range of occasions. the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Peninsula and the Montage have all hosted commissions, with portraits arriving the day before significant events. Locally, anniversaries and milestone birthdays drive the bulk of our work – but we have also painted university graduates from UCLA, USC and Loyola Marymount, generations of family at Hillcrest Country Club, Los Angeles Country Club and the Riviera, posthumous tributes to grandparents, and corporate retirement gifts for executives across the Greater Los Angeles area. Increasingly, we are commissioned for newborns and pets – rates of dog and cat portrait commissions in California have more than doubled in the last two years.

Photo tips for Beverly Hills customers

The single biggest factor in a beautiful portrait is the source photograph. Here is what we have learnt from thousands of commissions across California and the rest of the United States:

• Use natural light. Photographs taken outdoors on an overcast day, or beside a north-facing window, give the artist the most workable detail. Beverly Hills’s abundant natural light makes this easy – late afternoon light is especially flattering.
• Higher resolution is better. Shoot at the highest quality your camera or phone allows. We can work from older photos, but more pixels gives us more detail to translate into oil.
• The subject should fill the frame. A close, well-composed photograph of a face will always paint better than a distant snapshot, however charming.
• Don’t worry about the background. Our artists routinely re-paint or replace backgrounds – a busy Beverly Hills street scene can become a soft studio backdrop.
• Multiple photos help with composites. If you are commissioning a portrait of multiple people who were not photographed together, send up to five separate photos and we will build the composition.

Delivery to Beverly Hills

Standard delivery to all Beverly Hills ZIP codes (90209-90213) takes roughly 23 days from the moment you complete your commission. We ship via fully tracked, fully insured courier – typically FedEx or UPS – with signature required on delivery. Each painting is varnished, dried for 72 hours, then packed in a custom protective sleeve with corner guards and a rigid outer box. There is no shipping charge to California, or anywhere in the United States. VIP express delivery – an additional $199 – typically reduces total turnaround to around nine days from order to Beverly Hills doorstep, prioritising your commission in the artist queue and dispatching by overnight courier.

Care & display in Beverly Hills

California’s dry climate is exceptionally kind to oil paintings – humidity-related craquelure is rare, and natural light is plentiful, so pieces glow even in north-facing rooms. For best results, hang your portrait away from direct sunlight (most rooms in a Beverly Hills home will be fine), avoid kitchens and bathrooms where airborne moisture and grease can dull the surface, and dust gently with a soft, dry cloth no more than once a month. Modern oil paintings on stretched canvas do not require professional cleaning for at least the first decade. Should you ever notice an issue, our 100% money-back guarantee covers you for 60 days from delivery – no questions asked.
