I will make a digital portrait painting


About this gig
Custom Realistic Digital Portrait Painting 100% Hand-Painted, No AI
Step into a world of shadow and light. I create realistic digital portrait paintings with a distinctive clair-obscur style deep, dramatic contrasts between darkness and illumination, rich moody color palettes, and a tactile, "pasty" painterly texture that gives every piece a hand-crafted, almost tangible quality. Think Old Masters lighting meets modern digital painting.
What you get:
A one-of-a-kind portrait painting of you, a loved one, a pet, a character, or anyone you'd like immortalized built entirely from your reference photos and painted with genuine artistic intention.
Dramatic, moody lighting chiaroscuro-inspired compositions where light doesn't just illuminate the subject, it tells part of the story. Perfect if you want something that feels cinematic, emotional, or timeless rather than a flat, evenly-lit rendering.
️A tactile painted texture that signature "pasty," impasto-like quality that makes the image feel like real paint on canvas rather than a slick digital illustration. It has weight and presence.

FAQ
Can you paint real oil paintings as well?
Yes, I can paint real oil paintings (and acrylic as well by the way), but I only deliver in the Netherlands.
How do you paint then, if it's digital?
With a Wacom pen and tablet, connected to my PC. I use Krita, which is an open source painting program, just like Photoshop. I prefer digital because in my Amsterdam apartment, real paintings can take up quite some space and clutter ;)
How do you deliver them?
A high-quality JPEG file. Dimensions are based upon the reference photo.
Could I print them and frame them?
Yes, and I have done so regularly. You can get them printed in any quality and price range suited to you. Matte paper or glossy. You can choose a frame that you like, and customize it that way. This is not included in my delivery, although I can help and advise you where and how to do this.
