Pencil portraits & watercolor portraits from your photos

Welcome!  I'm Mike Theuer, a professional artist.  I make pencil portraits and watercolor portraits from people's photos.  Send me your photo and I will turn it into a work of art.
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 appear to glow.  Accuracy is important too . . . I teach art at The Pennsylvania State University. more . . .

HELP !   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 painting 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 an artist whose pencil portraits, for example give you a great first impression.
✓ Skilled  ― does the artist capture the subject?  Look for an artist whose watercolor paintings, for example include reference photos so you can compare and gauge the artist's skill at capturing a likeness.
✓ Consistent  ― is the artist consistent?  Look for an artist with lots of samples.  If the sample pet portraits, for example are all good, then your portrait will be just as!
BEWARE art companies.  Art companies sign their portraits with the company name.  This is partly since they hire a stream of different artists.  So the samples they display are usually not from the artist you'll get.
✓ Reasonable  ― is the artist worth the price?  Look for an artist whose price makes you think you would gladly pay that amount for a pencil portrait, for example.
✓ Current  ― is the artist recent?  Look for an artist whose pencil portraits, for example are dated this year.  If not, that artist may be out of practice.
