Watercolour family portrait poster, personalised — your photo, painted

A family painted in watercolour from their photo: parents, children, grandparents, and the family pet if it is in the picture, with their faces, their smiles and their clothes, surrounded by a soft wash of colours and a few splashes, on textured paper. The family name, or the first names, can be written underneath in a handwritten script, with an optional line of text: a year, a few words. Four palettes to choose from: sage and ochre, powder pink, ocean blue or terracotta.

A sharp photo where every face is clearly visible, head-on or three-quarter view, well lit, with everyone in the same picture. A holiday, Christmas or family-party photo usually works: the background disappears and only the family is painted. A phone photo is enough — JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 25 MB.

Yes. An artificial intelligence paints the portrait from your photo in about thirty seconds: it is not a hand-painted work. You see the result before you order, and exactly that image is what we print, in our workshop in Aveyron — nothing is redone or retouched between the screen and the paper.

You get three tries per photo, with the palette of your choice; a sharper, head-on, well-lit photo usually gives a better result. The name is written separately: you can change it at any time without redoing the portrait. The portrait is painted by an artificial intelligence, so a likeness is not guaranteed. Once the order is placed, the portrait you saw is the one that is printed; like any personalised poster, it cannot be returned, except for a fault or an error on our side.

In our tests, a family of four with their dog and seven people around a table, were both painted with everyone included. The more people there are, the smaller each face becomes, and the less it looks like them: beyond seven people, or in a photo taken from a distance, the result is not guaranteed. You see it before you order, with three tries per photo.

Ask one of the parents for the family photo, or use one from a meal, a wedding or a holiday: a single picture where everyone can be seen clearly. You see the portrait before you pay: if it doesn’t look like the family, try another photo rather than giving it as it is. For a gift from everyone, write the family name underneath, and a year as the line of text.

Yes: under the family name or the first names, an optional line of text of up to 48 characters, for example “At Grandma’s” or “All together”. It is written in handwriting, smaller than the name, and you see it before you order.

It is only used to make your poster. It is stored in a private space, never published, and we delete it thirty days after shipping — or after purchase, for the print-ready file — along with the painted portrait. Location data in a phone photo is removed as soon as it is uploaded. To be painted, the photo is sent to an artificial intelligence service (Google), which receives it for that purpose only.

A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm: standard frame sizes, easy to find (IKEA, HEMA, Action, Desenio). Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, in black, white or natural, with acrylic glass; the larger sizes ship rolled, to frame at home.
