Children’s Portrait 79 – O

Yo, got to paint this little one right before the holidays last year and forgot to share it! I only do a few children’s portraits a year but when I do its always fun because these are original pieces of art that will be in someone’s home! Thats big! This little one is a mixed kid w/ a family from the Midwest and it was a joy to paint him. Shout out to the friends who commissioned this for their folks as a house warming gift. Here’s some process below.

Children’s Portrait collage 2022-2024

Thanks for checking out my blog. This is a collage of children’s portraits I’ve been commissioned to paint in the last 2 years. It used to be that the bulk of these paintings were individual children, but lately I feel like there have been a lot more siblings and families. I also used to incorporate more of the child’s ethnicity in the clothing, but over the past 3-4 years I’ve really enjoyed just playing with color and pattern. Check them out.. I paint each one by hand, no AI lol.

If you’d like me to paint a child in your life for you or as a gift to someone else, please check out this link.

And while I’ve got your attention, check out some of the collages from previous years:

Children’s Portrait 78 – Jidan & Bryant’s family

Hey, here is the latest children’s portrait. Typically I paint one child at a time. At the most, maybe two kids. But occassionally I get to paint a family!! Love this family, they are awesome and beautiful just being themselves but they have not only contributed some great work to this world as organizers, artists, parents, and writers; but they have helped me grow. As an artist and as a person.

Check out the painting process. Typically I do a sketch directly on the wood or trace a photgraph and redraw it on wood.

Slowly building up tone and contrast with acrylic paint on wood panel.

Then, I began building up skin tone values, shading, and hair bit by bit. Its painteed with acrylic so i can add light or dark if I need to. But i prefer to build up color and contrast slowly.

This is the final painting as it was delivered. Check out Jidan and Bryant‘s work. If you’d like to get a child or family painted for a portrait please hit this link up.

Children’s Portrait 73 – Malayah

 

Here’s a portrait I painted recently of this cutie named Malayah, commissioned by her Papa for Mama. Funny story, i actually met this child at a kids book reading I was doing right before I painted her 🙂

What are these? These are children’s portraits I paint custom for aunts, uncles, moms, dads, care givers, families and more. I’ve been painting them for nearly a decade. They’re fun to paint and unique ways of giving someone a gift. Although the majority of these are of children and families, I paint young adults and adults too.

Children’s Portrait collage (5) – 2020-2022

What up? This is a collage of children’s and family portraits I’ve painted over the past two years. I started these paintings in 2012 before I self published “Furqan’s First Flat Top” as a way to generate income to make the book and to let parents know that I planned to make my own children’s book. You can see me talk about it in this video from 2012.

Since publishing the book, I continued and I like painting them. They provide value to parents, grandparents, caregivers, etc and I think they’re a cool gift idea for the holidays or special occasions. I’ve painted whole families, newborns, kids, and teens. And I plan to continue doing it. 
If you’d like to commission one for yourself or as a gift to someone, follow this LINK

Thanks in advance!
