Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make a custom oil painting portrait from a photo?
You share the photo you want painted — a clear, well-lit image works best. We review it and discuss feasibility, then agree on canvas size, background, and style. Once confirmed and the advance is paid, our artist starts with a pencil sketch on canvas. We share that sketch for your approval before any paint is applied. Painting happens in layers, and we send work-in-progress images throughout so you can give feedback at each stage. Nothing is shipped without your final sign-off.
What is the price of an oil painting portrait in India?
Oil portraits at Stoned Santa start at Rs. 5,000 for a single-person portrait on rolled canvas. The final price depends on four things: how many people or pets are in the painting, the canvas size (we do everything from 6x6 inch miniatures to life-size), how detailed you want the background, and whether you need framing. A standard couple portrait in a mid-size canvas with a simple background typically falls in the Rs. 8,000 to 12,000 range. Share your requirements and we will give you a specific quote.
How long does an oil painting portrait take to complete?
A standard 36x24-inch oil portrait takes 7 to 14 working days to paint. After painting, the canvas needs 2 to 3 days to dry before it can be safely packaged. Shipping across India takes another 3 to 5 days. Total from order to delivery — plan for roughly 2 to 3 weeks. If you have a hard deadline like a wedding or anniversary, tell us upfront and we will be straight with you about what is achievable.
Who are the oil painting artists at Stoned Santa?
We work with a curated network of professional oil painting artists from across India — each selected through careful portfolio screening. Among them are Aashi from Delhi, a fine arts graduate specialising in realistic oil portraits, and Shruti from Pune, a self-taught artist with over a decade of oil and acrylic experience. Each project is matched to the artist best suited for that style and complexity. You can see examples of their work on our portrait artists page.
What materials are used in oil painting portraits?
All oil portraits are made on canvas — either stretched over a wooden frame or rolled. The artist first sketches the outline in pencil or charcoal, then builds the painting in layers using oil-based pigments. Once complete and dry, a protective varnish is applied. The varnish locks in the colours, prevents cracking, and gives the painting its characteristic depth. A properly varnished oil painting on quality canvas can last well over a hundred years.
Can you paint subjects other than people — pets, landscapes, deities?
Absolutely. We regularly paint pet portraits (dogs, cats, horses), family compositions mixing people and pets, landscape paintings, and devotional subjects like Shiv Parvati or scenes from the Mahabharata. We have also done concept compositions where clients describe a scene from scratch and we design and paint it. If you can describe it or show a reference image, we can paint it in oil.
What size canvas should I choose for an oil painting portrait?
For a single person, A3 (16x12 inches) is a popular starting size — substantial on a wall without being overwhelming. For couples, 20x16 to 24x18 inches works well. Family portraits with 3 or more people benefit from 30x24 inches or larger so each face gets proper detail. For a living room or office statement piece, we go up to life-size. Tell us where you plan to hang it and we will recommend the right size.
Is an oil painting portrait a good wedding or anniversary gift?
It is honestly one of the best. Most of our oil portrait orders are gifts — parents' anniversaries, wedding gifts for couples, housewarming surprises. A painting is physical, permanent, and personal in a way almost nothing else is. It gets displayed, talked about, and kept for decades. Plan at least 3 weeks ahead of the occasion. You can also browse our wedding gifts collection for more ideas across different art styles.
How do I take care of an oil painting portrait?
Three things matter most. First, keep it away from direct sunlight — UV exposure fades pigments over time. Second, avoid damp walls — moisture warps canvas and causes paint to lift. Third, clean it with a soft dry cloth, tapping gently — never rub, never use water. For long-term preservation, frame with glass or have it laminated. A well-maintained oil painting can last over a century without losing its colour or depth.
Do you ship oil painting portraits internationally?
Yes. We ship to the USA, UAE, Canada, the UK, Singapore, Australia, and more. International paintings are rolled and shipped in protective tubes to keep costs reasonable and ensure safe transit. We have served 5,000+ customers globally since 2016. Share your location when enquiring and we will confirm shipping timeline and cost.
What photo should I share to get the best result?
Clear, well-lit, high resolution — those are the three things that matter. Natural light is better than flash or harsh indoor lighting. The face should be front-on or at a slight angle. Avoid heavily filtered photos. If you are combining multiple people from separate photos into one composition (which we do regularly), make sure the lighting is roughly consistent across all the images. When in doubt, share 2 to 3 options and we will tell you which gives the best result.
