Portrait Styles

The Custom Print
Our basic signature product also comes in black & white.
It is an artist made print that includes all retouching and enhancement. All prints are signed by the artist. Both traditional cold-tone and sepia warm tone prints are available.

The Gallery Portrait
Created on archival, fiber base fine art papers, this distinctive hand made print is our finest. Signed by the artist, it is mounted and gallery matted and individually numbered. This is a truly special product.

Through our unique process, the sharpness, tonality and image depth is unmatched anywhere.

Oil Enhanced Canvas
Our most popular oil portrait, the "Oil Enhanced Canvas", has been a flagship product for decades! With this product, an intermediately priced oil portrait is available with less wait and lower price. In this category, a custom print is perfected with all the necessary retouch and enhancements, then it is painted with oils right over the color photograph! This medium "oil-over" allows us to maintain the accuracy of the photograph and add the "feeling" of the oil portrait. The beautiful finished image is then mounted to canvas and protected with lacquer.

The Masterpiece
Our oil portrait, called the "MASTERPIECE", is created from your selected pose from your portrait session. This portrait is a real oil painting! Mr. Cruz and his staff artists will create your portrait directly onto artists' canvas,
using the photograph as the guide only. This is our finest archival color portrait. There is a waiting list for Cruz oil portraits … and it may take 6-12 months to make yours.

Traditional Canvas
Our canvas portrait, called the "TRADITIONAL", permanently bonds our hand made print to the finest artists' canvas. Most sizes are then stretched over wooden frames. Some very large sizes are mounted on masonite or other preferred media. Lacquer is applied for final finishing and protection. A gorgeous, affordable
Portrait.
