Turn Your Cherished Photos into Hand-Painted Oil Art (No Digital Prints)

A hand-painted oil portrait brings emotion to life—every brushstroke tells a story.

Whether it’s a custom family portrait, a wedding memory, or a custom pet painting, our artists turn your photos into timeless art pieces.

At Oleo Arts, every painting is created by real artists on museum-grade linen canvas using premium oil pigments. No filters, no digital prints—only genuine texture and craftsmanship that lasts for generations.

Our Simple 3-Step Custom Process

We’ve made custom portrait painting from photos simple, transparent, and stress-free.

Step 1: Personalized Consultation & Vision Confirmation

Send us your photo (or multiple images) via email, our customer support team will help you confirm your preferred style—classic realism, modern, or soft light—and any details like background, outfit changes, or merging separate photos.

This applies to both family and pet portraits—our artists can paint lifelike fur, expressions, and personality directly from your reference image.

You’ll receive personalized feedback before we begin painting.

Step 2: Hand-Painted Creation & Approval Proof

Once confirmed, your professional portrait artist starts painting entirely by hand on stretched linen canvas. Within 7–10 days, you’ll receive photos and a short video of the finished portrait for approval.

You have 72 hours to request up to two free minor changes before it’s finalized and varnished for protection.

You can adjust color tones, lighting, or small facial details to match your expectations.

Step 3: Secure Global Shipping & Delivery

After drying and varnishing, your portrait is framed (optional) and securely packed with multiple protective layers.

All orders ship via DHL or UPS Express, arriving worldwide in 5–7 business days with tracking and insurance included.

From upload to delivery, your portrait usually arrives within 3–4 weeks.
