Realistic Watercolor Portrait

@diegopelizzoli

Hello, I can work from your photos and put both of you together in a way that feels natural and believable. I’ll take care of the composition so it doesn’t look forced. The halo can be added in a subtle way, just enough to suggest it without taking attention away from the moment. I’ll also choose the setting that works best visually between the options you mentioned. I’ll send you a sketch first so we can adjust anything before moving to the final piece. I suggest working at A3 size, which allows for good detail and presence without overcomplicating the piece. Estimated time: 10–15 days. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/diegopelizzoli You can send the photos whenever you’re ready and I’ll take a look. Best, Diego

I have solid experience creating this kind of work. I paint digitally using high‑quality oil paint and watercolor brushes, and everything I deliver is fully hand drawn. I put emotions and intuition, meaning in the painting, so if you could send me anything personal to you about this it would help. In the past, I’ve worked with clients on this platform who left reviews on my profile, and I even handled printing and shipping myself — delivering their finished piece as a professionally printed, framed canvas. I use top tier software, a Wacom 23, and I can download or match any brush style, paint texture, or effect you’re looking for. I can also offer this to you at half the price and start immediately. I’ve created many portraits for people honoring loved ones who have passed, and this kind of sentimental work means a lot to me. Each piece takes about 4–6 hours, depending on detail. If you’d like a clean, minimalistic realism style, I can absolutely use Sargent‑style brushes to achieve that look. I hope you choose me I’d love to create this for you. P.s. I have access to printing account after this is finished, I bill you extra from here and I can send you the frame print or print on canvas when it is finished. I have done this before on this platform, you can see the review on my profile. I do not just draw cartoons, I have ART EDUCATION in painting and was trained by Erik Armusik in a personal painting course. Please look him up. I hired him as a tutor for a year.

I specialize in realistic watercolor and pencil portraits, and I’m experienced in combining multiple reference photos to create a natural, lifelike composition. I love the idea of placing you both in a peaceful, storytelling setting—personally, I feel a warm campfire scene could beautifully reflect connection, laughter, and lasting memories, while incorporating a subtle halo to honor him. I’ll approach this piece with great care and sensitivity, ensuring it feels personal, comforting, and timeless. I’m happy to collaborate closely and refine details to make sure it’s exactly what you envision. Please feel free to share your reference photos whenever you’re ready—I’m here to help bring this tribute to life.

As a seasoned 2D artist, - specifically drawing in watercolor and pencil mediums- I'm thrilled to be considered for this project. More importantly though, I understand the emotional significance of your request in a profound, personal way. Just like you, I have cherished memories of my father who passed away a few years ago and I have found art to be an incredibly healing means of remembering him. This understanding is something I can bring to the table as we work together to create this special piece. In my 6 year practice, I have successfully blended realism and watercolor techniques to create soulful, emotionally resonant portraits.
