How we paint your Florham Park portrait
- You upload your photo.
From the comfort of your Florham Park 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preview, varnish and delivery to Florham Park.
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 Florham Park address by tracked, fully insured courier.

Photo tips for Florham Park customers
The single biggest factor in a beautiful portrait is the source photograph. Here is what we have learnt from thousands of commissions across New Jersey 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.
- 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.
- 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 Florham Park
Standard delivery to Florham Park 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.

VIP express delivery – an additional $199 – typically reduces total turnaround to around nine days from order to Florham Park doorstep.
Care & display in Florham Park
New Jersey’s mild Atlantic climate is gentle on oil paintings; modest humidity control is sufficient. For best results, hang your portrait away from direct sunlight, 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. Should you ever notice an issue, our 100% money-back guarantee covers you for 60 days from delivery.
