This is the kind of portrait that needs careful, respectful handling, especially because the likeness and emotional connection matter as much as the technical finish. I can create a realistic hand-painted oil portrait based on your photo, with no AI or digital tools used at any stage. I’d first plan the composition and tonal balance, then build the painting traditionally in layers so the faces, expressions, and skin tones feel natural. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12. For a 12x16 inch piece, I’d suggest around 2–3 weeks including drying time between stages.

Hello, I’d be honoured to create this as a **completely hand-painted oil portrait**, with no AI or digital tools involved at any stage. For a piece this personal, I would focus first on preserving the likeness, expression, and connection between you and your father rather than simply copying the photograph. At 12×16 inches, careful composition and facial detail will be especially important, and I’m happy to suggest adjustments if they would make the final painting stronger. I can also share examples of realistic portrait work and discuss the reference photo with you before beginning. One question: **would you like the painting to stay exactly as the original photo, or are you open to subtle background/composition changes that place more focus on you and your father?** Best regards, Muhammad
