Hand-paintedOil or acrylicQuote upon request
A beloved face, a family home, a vacation landscape, a pet: some images deserve better than a photo print. With our custom made-to-order canvas service, you entrust us with a photo, drawing, or image, and our artist reinterprets it as a hand-painted work of art on a high-quality canvas. Depending on your project, the work is painted in oil or acrylic using premium colors for a vivid and lasting image. It all begins with a conversation: you send us your image via email or chat, then we discuss the style, format, and details to highlight together. The price is determined based on the complexity, size, and desired texture. Before finalizing, a preview is sent to you for validation or minor adjustments. The canvas is delivered to you without a stretcher or frame, carefully packaged, and ready to be stretched or framed to your liking. The result: a unique work of art that exists in only one copy—yours.
Materials
Canvas, oil and acrylic: the choice of paint
Oil paint is the technique used for great portraits and classic landscapes: its oil-bound pigments dry slowly, allowing for blending colors and working with light and gradients with great softness. It offers deep hues and a rich texture that can catch light in relief.
Acrylic dries faster and provides bold, luminous, and very stable colors, ideal for contemporary looks or crisp flat areas. In both cases, the paint is applied to a high-quality canvas, and our examples show works delivered flat, with a margin of blank canvas around the image to facilitate mounting on a stretcher or framing. The choice between the two techniques is made during the consultation, depending on your image and the desired atmosphere.

From your photo to a work of art
Our examples speak for themselves: the nave of a ceremonial salon treated in an almost architectural grisaille, a flowery coastal village bathed in light, a modern building at dusk, a child sitting in soft light, or the portrait of a smiling couple. Every subject calls for a different treatment, and that is the whole point of a custom order.
A family photo can become a warm portrait with nuanced tones; a travel snapshot, a landscape with intensified colors; an architect's design, an almost cinematic view. You can remain faithful to the original image or request a more free interpretation: the dialogue with our team is there specifically to define your expectations for the canvas.
How your order process works
1
Send your image: photo, drawing, or visual, by email to info@atelier-atypique.fr or via the site chat.
2
Discuss with our team regarding the style, format, details to highlight, and the desired finish.
3
Validate the price, set based on complexity, size, and texture, then place your order.
4
Receive a preview before finalization for approval or minor adjustments, then receive your canvas.
Important: each canvas is painted on request, only after your project is validated. The price is not flat-rate: it depends on the complexity of the image, the chosen size, and the desired texture. Please contact us before placing any order so that we can evaluate your request.
Our tip: choose a sharp, well-lit photo in high definition. The more precise the starting image, especially regarding faces, the better the artist can capture expressions and details. Do not hesitate to send several photos of the same subject to help capture a likeness. A good starting point makes all the difference.

Frequently asked questions
How do I send my photo?
Simply contact us by email at info@atelier-atypique.fr or via the site chat, attaching the image, photo, or drawing you wish to have transformed into a painting. In your message, specify the subject, intended format, and the intended use, such as a gift or a piece for a room. Our team will get back to you to discuss your expectations, the style, and the details to highlight. The sharper and better-lit your image, the more faithful the result will be, especially for faces.
How is the price calculated?
Since each canvas is unique, there is no flat-rate price. The price is set according to your request, based on three main criteria: the complexity of the image, including the number of people, details, or architectural elements; the size of the canvas; and the texture desired in the paint. After speaking with our team, the price will be provided for payment. Only then is the order placed and the artist begins painting your work.
What painting technique is used?
The canvases are hand-painted using premium oil or acrylic paints. Oil offers very smooth transitions, deep hues, and generous texture, appreciated for portraits and classic landscapes. Acrylic provides bold, luminous colors, suitable for more contemporary looks. The choice depends on your image and the effect you are looking for; this can be discussed during the consultation with our team. In all cases, the goal is precise color reproduction and a vivid image.
Will I be able to see the canvas before it is finished?
Yes. Before finalization, a preview of the canvas is sent to you so that you can approve it or request minor adjustments: a shade of color, an expression detail, or an element of the decor. This step ensures that the work matches your expectations before it is finished and shipped. Keep in mind that this is a hand-painted work: it is an artistic interpretation of your photo and not a pixel-perfect mechanical reproduction.
What formats are available?
The canvases are available in various sizes, defined with you according to your project and where the work will be hung. A portrait for a bedroom or office may be fine in a modest format, while a landscape intended for a living room will benefit from being larger. The format directly influences the price and the level of detail possible. To choose, measure the wall or furniture above which the canvas will be placed and share these dimensions with our team during the consultation.
Is the canvas delivered framed?
No. The canvas is delivered without a stretcher and without a frame, which facilitates shipping in secure packaging and leaves you free to showcase it in your own way. You can have it stretched onto a wooden frame by a framer, place it in a frame of your choice, or hang it with a suitable system. Our examples show a margin of blank canvas around the image, useful for this mounting. Plan accordingly for this framing budget if you wish to hang it as soon as it arrives.
What subjects can be painted?
Almost anything: family portraits, children or couples, pets, vacation landscapes, houses, buildings, or interiors, but also a child's drawing to be sublimated. Our examples range from an architectural interior treated in grisaille to a flowery coastal village, from a modern building at dusk to the portrait of a couple. The best thing to do is show us your image: our team will tell you how it can be interpreted and advise you on the most suitable style, format, and technique.
