Custom Renoir Style Landscape Painting from Your Photo

A bend of river, a hillside, a path walked for years, painted in oil from your photographs, in Renoir’s summer colour or in the real weather.

Choose the view that carries the memory

Put something near the camera. A wall, a boat, a gate or a hedge gives the eye a place to stand. A view that is all distance paints thin, however much it means to you. If your photograph is all horizon, take another a few paces back.

Name the season and hour you want, even if the picture shows another. A summer view repainted in autumn light is easy and often better. A place can also be built from several references: the shore from one, the sky from another, the trees you remember rather than the ones standing now. A sentence about how the place felt often helps more than another picture.

River, grass, shade

Luncheon of the Boating Party is set on a restaurant terrace over the Seine at Chatou. The catalogue also holds two landscapes, The Seine at Chatou and Path Leading Through Tall Grass.

In the late 1860s Renoir and Monet found that shadows reflect the colours of the objects around them. Out of doors, shaded grass can hold blue. The Renoir direction applies that observation to your place.

Weather as it was, or an afternoon in summer

The faithful version keeps the actual colours and weather. The Renoir version keeps the shape of the land and its landmarks, and turns grass, water and leaves into touches of warm and cool colour, with afternoon light even from a grey-day photograph. Coasts, rivers, gardens and country paths suit it, while a city skyline at night suits the faithful one. The canvas is newly painted after his manner and is not an original Renoir.

Terms for a wall

Landscapes survive enlargement better than figures, so a large canvas suits a main wall. Sizes keep the shape of your photograph, rolled, stretched on a wooden frame, or framed.

• A landscape, smallest canvas, rolled, starts at $218 (30 × 40 cm, rolled canvas).
• Painting takes 2 to 4 weeks.
• Photographs of the finished canvas arrive before dispatch.
• Shipping is free worldwide and tracked. Carriers: UPS or DHL.
• After dispatch, allow 5 to 7 business days.

Place questions

Can modern things be taken out?

Yes. Cars, power lines or a new building on the horizon can go if the photographs show what lies behind them. Name what must stay.

Can people walk through it?

Yes, as small figures on a path or a beach, each counted as a figure in the price, each with a full-length photograph.

My photo is a panorama. Will it work?

Often, as a long horizontal canvas. Phone panoramas bend straight lines, so add an ordinary photo of the same view.

What if the place does not feel right on the wall?

It can be returned after delivery. Return period: 30 days.

You can cancel your order at any time until it ships.
