Pencil portraits and watercolor portraits by Mike Theuer
Welcome! I'm a professional artist who draws and paints portraits from your photos. My style is expressive. You will see pencil lines and brush strokes in my work. I also pay close attention to light and shadow. So my portraits will appear to glow. Accuracy is important too. I teach art at The Pennsylvania State University. more . . .

HELP ! Need help choosing a portrait artist? Have you been looking online for an artist to turn your photo into a portrait? Maybe a pet portrait? A pencil portrait of your baby, or a watercolor portrait of your wedding? Then you've probably noticed there are a lot of artists. How do you choose one? This checklist should help.
| ✓ | Appealing ― does the artist make you smile? Look for a portrait artist whose pencil portraits give you a great first impression. | |
| ✓ | Skilled ― does the artist capture the subject? Look for a portrait artist whose watercolor portraits include reference photos so you can compare and gauge the artist's skill at capturing a likeness. | |
| ✓ | Consistent ― is the artist consistent? Look for a portrait artist with lots of samples. If the sample pencil portraits are all good, then your portrait will be just as good! BEWARE art companies. Art companies stamp their portraits with a company name. Why? They hire artists in far-off lands who remain unknown. This means the samples they display are usually not from the artist you'll get. So you don't know what to expect! |
|
| ✓ | Reasonable ― is the artist worth the price? Look for a portrait artist whose price makes you think you would gladly pay that amount for a watercolor portrait. | |
| ✓ | Current ― is the artist recent? Look for a portrait artist whose pencil portraits are dated this year. If not, that artist may be out of practice.
