What Makes This Service Different?

You may be asking yourself, "what makes this service different from all the do-it-yourself options out there?".

The answer is simple: Hand painting.

Many other options out there involve just a few clicks of a mouse and fancy editing filters in expensive digital software.

The Painted Treasures service, however, is not done automatically by a computer program. I digitally hand paint every single image, spending many hours on each piece until it is just right. It is this painstaking technique that transforms your digital image from just a picture to a truly unique work of art
