Hand-Painted to Order  ·  Trade Pricing From One Piece  ·  WhatsApp: Usually Instant Replies

We paint landscapes by hand, to order, from your photo. A phone snapshot is enough to work from. You choose oil or acrylic on canvas, in any size from 24 by 20 inches to 80 by 60 inches and beyond. One to five paintings take 7 to 10 business days. We send progress photos while we paint and photos of the finished canvas before it ships, and nothing leaves our studio until you approve. Prefer to start from a design? Our landscape and countryside collection has 57 paintings, and any of them can be resized, recolored or changed to show your own place.

Landscapes we paint

Our studio is in Dafen Art Village, Shenzhen, and landscapes are among the most common commissions we take:

  • Mountains. Alpine peaks, misty blue ridges, a lake below the snow line.
  • Meadows. Poppies, bluebells, a summer field before the hay is cut.
  • Forests and paths. Birch groves, pine ridges, an autumn lane.
  • Farmland. Wheat, vineyards, and the family farm as you remember it.
  • Tuscany. Cypress rows, a stone farmhouse, soft rolling hills.
  • Provence. Lavender rows, a lone tree, a village on the hill.
  • The view from your own window. The cabin lake, the ranch gate, the hill behind your grandparents’ house.

A painting of a place you love is a gift people keep for life, for an anniversary, a retirement, or parents who sold the farm.

One rule on photos: send photos you took yourself or have the rights to use. Photos found on Google Images, travel blogs or stock sites are copyrighted, and we do not paint them. We also do not copy the work of living landscape painters.

From your photo to a painting

You do not need a professional shot. A vacation snapshot or an old print works. Here is what helps most.

  1. Send the original file. Upload the largest version you have through the quote form. A file sent straight from the phone keeps more detail than one forwarded through a messaging app.
  2. Send more than one photo if you have them. Two or three angles help us read the shape of the land. We combine several photos into one composition, so the view from your cabin plus the sunset from another evening is a normal request.
  3. Tell us what to remove. Power lines, the parked car, a neighbor’s roof. Painting is not photo editing. Our painter simply leaves those things out and fills the space with what belongs there.
  4. Tell us the light. A noon photo can become golden hour. A gray day can get a warm sky. Summer can turn to fall color. We adjust light and colors to match how you remember the place.
  5. Approve the photos. We send progress photos during painting, then photos of the finished canvas. We ship only when you say yes.

Choosing the style

You decide how close the painting stays to the photo. The easiest way to tell us is to point to a catalog painting whose brushwork you like.

True to the photo

Realistic shapes and colors, with the edits you asked for. Best when the place itself is the point, like a house or one specific view.

Impressionist

Loose palette-knife strokes, light and color over detail. Most of our catalog landscapes are painted this way.

Textured

Heavy impasto with ridges of paint you can see across the room. Ships stretched or framed, never rolled, because thick paint should not be bent.

Minimalist

A big sky, a single tree line, quiet color. Good for bedrooms and busy rooms.

Size and format

Any size. We offer 60 standard sizes from 24 by 20 inches up to 80 by 60 inches, plus sets of two and three. Any other size is painted to your measurements at the same rate. Larger single canvases beyond 80 by 60 inches are quoted case by case.

How big to go over a sofa

Over a long sofa, one wide horizontal canvas or a set of three panels reads best. Send us the sofa width and ceiling height and we will suggest sizes from the standard list. A useful trick: mark the outline on the wall with painter’s tape and live with it for a day.

Panoramas and sets

For a wall wider than one canvas can cover, a set of two or three panels lets the scene run across the wall while each piece stays easy to ship and hang. For one very large canvas, see extra-large paintings.

Oil or acrylic, and how it is finished

Both oil and acrylic are available, and you choose. Oil dries slowly, so our painters can blend soft skies, mist and distant hills. That slow drying is also why pieces 36 by 48 inches and larger sit at the top of their time band. Acrylic dries fast and gives crisp edges and bright, even color.

Canvas is premium linen. The finished painting can be:

  • Rolled in a tube, ready for a local framer to stretch. Cheapest to ship.
  • Stretched on solid wood bars, ready to hang.
  • Framed in black, white, wood, silver or gold. All five frame colors cost the same.

Heavy texture ships stretched or framed. We do not recommend rolling thick impasto. One painter builds that texture from start to finish, and how we paint walks you through each stage of the work.

Timeline, progress photos and approval

1 to 5 paintings 7 to 10 business days
6 to 20 paintings 10 to 15 business days
21 to 50 paintings 15 to 20 business days
Before shipping Photos of the finished canvas, and you approve
Express delivery FedEx or DHL, 5 to 10 business days
Minimum order None

Production starts once we have your photo, your size and your deposit. Progress photos let you see the composition early and ask for changes while they are still easy. Nothing leaves the studio until you approve the final photos. If a piece has a defect that is our fault, we repaint it at our cost.

Shipping a large landscape abroad

Our terms are EXW our Shenzhen studio. Freight is quoted separately, at cost, and we do not add to it. Choose express by FedEx or DHL in 5 to 10 business days, air freight for bigger orders that need to move quickly, or sea freight in 25 to 40 days for the lowest cost per piece on large batches.

Stretched and framed canvases are wrapped and boxed, and large or multiple stretched pieces go in a wooden crate. We confirm the crate count with you before transport is booked. CIF and DDP are available on request. Under EXW, transit risk sits with the carrier and with you as the buyer. If we arrange the freight, we help with any claim.

On duty: paintings executed entirely by hand fall under HTS 9701, which has a free base rate of duty into the United States. Other China-origin measures can apply, so confirm with a customs broker. Full terms are on our trade page.

For designers, hotels and stagers

There is no minimum order. Trade pricing starts from one piece, improves at 6 pieces and again at 21, and mixed designs count together. A hotel ordering 30 landscapes in several scenes gets the 21-piece rate on all of them, and they leave in one batch in 15 to 20 business days. For a first order or a large project we paint a sample, credited back on any order of 10 pieces or more. Payment is usually a 50 percent deposit with the balance before release, by wire transfer, PayPal or card.

Good fit

Regional scenes for a hotel or vacation rental. A designer’s client with a family farm photo. Stagers who need a calm landscape in a set size. Gift buyers with a meaningful place.

Not a fit

Copies of living artists’ landscapes. Photos you do not own. Printed canvas, which we do not make. A large stretched piece delivered overseas in under a week.

Start with the landscape and countryside collection

Our landscape and countryside collection has 57 hand-painted designs, and each one can be resized, recolored or adapted. Three to start with:

Yes, you can order any Tuscany painting bigger or with warmer colors. Tell us the size and describe the shift, for example more gold in the fields and a peach sky. We can also add your own farmhouse or tree to a catalog scene.

Questions people ask

Can you paint a landscape from a phone photo? It is not a professional shot.
Yes. A phone snapshot is enough to work from. Send the largest original file you have rather than a screenshot, and add a second or third angle if you took one. Our painters read the shape of the land, the light and the colors from your photos, then paint the scene by hand in oil or acrylic. We send progress photos during painting, so you can correct anything early.
Can you combine two photos, like the view from our cabin and the sunset from another day?
Yes. We combine several photos into one composition. Send the view photo and the sky photo, and tell us which parts matter most, such as a particular tree or the line of the shore. We can also remove power lines, cars and buildings you do not want, and adjust the light and colors. You see progress photos while the painting is under way and final photos before it ships.
How long does a commissioned landscape take? I keep seeing 2 to 3 months.
Our production time for 1 to 5 paintings is 7 to 10 business days from the day we have your photo, size and deposit. Orders of 6 to 20 take 10 to 15 business days, and 21 to 50 take 15 to 20. Pieces 36 by 48 inches and larger sit at the top of their band because thick paint has to dry between layers, and oil takes longer still. Express delivery by FedEx or DHL then takes 5 to 10 business days.
What size should a landscape be over an 84 inch sofa?
A wide horizontal canvas, or a set of three, suits a long sofa best. Our 60 standard sizes run up to 80 by 60 inches, and we also paint any custom size at the same rate, so a canvas cut to your wall is no problem. Send the sofa width and the ceiling height with your quote request and we will suggest two or three sizes. Painter’s tape on the wall is the quickest way to test the outline.
Is it oil or acrylic, and can I choose?
We paint in acrylic unless you ask for oil. Oil is available on request. Because oil dries slowly between layers, oil pieces take longer.
How is a large canvas shipped overseas without damage?
Rolled canvases go in a strong tube, which is the cheapest and simplest way to ship a large landscape, and a framer near you stretches it. Stretched and framed pieces are wrapped and boxed, and large or multiple pieces go in a wooden crate. We confirm the crate count before transport is booked. Our terms are EXW Shenzhen, with freight quoted at cost. If we arrange the freight, we help with any claim.
What does it cost compared with hiring a local artist?
We do not publish prices, because every landscape is quoted on its size, medium, texture and finish. What we can say: trade pricing applies from one piece, the rate improves at 6 pieces and again at 21, and mixed designs count together. Send your photo and size through the quote form and WhatsApp replies are usually immediate; email replies usually arrive within 12 hours, with a firm quote.
We need 30 landscapes for a hotel refurbishment. Can you deliver in one batch?
Yes. An order of 21 to 50 paintings takes 15 to 20 business days and ships together. Thirty pieces qualify for the 21-piece trade rate, and the designs can all be different. We can paint a sample first, and the sample cost is credited back on orders of 10 pieces or more. Rolled canvas is the cheapest way to ship more than 20 pieces, or we crate stretched canvases for air or sea freight.
