Sentimental pieces combining subjects from more than one reference photo. Painted with the utmost care. These artworks are perfect for captures where loved ones didn't have the opportunity to meet.
Custom pricing applies to these pieces, please contact Portraits By Hayley via contact us or through socials to book. Where possible, please have your images ready to help with discussions.
SPECIAL NOTE* For these artworks there is much image consideration. Seamless moments can be created if photos are taken from similar angles, have similar colourings and are the same resolution. A quick test; consider if you were to print the photos and collage them together, do they make sense? My work has life breathed into it by how natural and realistic the result is. For this reason I don't create arms, make up elements, etc. I can however swap out one person holding another. I am available to help through the whole process of building these works.
All portraits are painted on A3 or A4 300GSM or 600GSM, quality cotton, cold-pressed, watercolour paper. (Larger sizes are available).
