This is the website of Jessica Rockwell, a portrait artist who is renowned for her commissioned art of children, custom family and pet portraits and charcoal drawings from photos. Here you will find over 100 of the breathtaking commissioned art of children, family and pet portraits created by this exceptional and professional artist. Jessica Rockwell is a very personable and understanding artist who runs a studio in Clearwater, Florida where she creates her masterpieces reflective of the time of Rembrandt. She uses a technique known as "from photo" to develop coordinated drawings from which she paints the portraits.

"From photo" means that Ms. Rockwell uses photos as reference material for all her commissioned art of children, family and pets portraits. By taking a number of photos, the artist captures the best expression on the child's or person's face and uses these photos to make a drawing onto canvas. The artist then paints on top of the drawings that she made on the canvas; she does not paint on top of the photos or project the photos onto the canvas. Only the finest archival canvases are used and Ms. Rockwell uses master painting traditions to create each portrait. The true beauty and essence of the subject of the portrait are caught effectively in the different photos, allowing the artist to capture the same striking qualities in each portrait.

Commissioned art of children by Jessica Rockwell is the perfect family heirloom that brings about the sensitivity and beauty of a special moment captured for eternity. Using the technique of "from photo" makes it easier for everyone, especially when dealing with children or pets. This is because the child or person or pet does not have to come into the studio and sit for a number of hours everyday-we all know how impatient and restless both children and pets get after a while. Ms. Rockwell makes it even easier for you to invest in some commissioned art of children by making the effort to come to your locale to take the photos. A photo session usually takes only one meeting and is an opportunity for the artist to meet the subject of the portrait. Alternatively, you can visit the studio in Tampa Bay or send some of your own photos provided they are clear and in good lighting.

Once Ms. Rockwell has the photos she needs, she makes the drawing on her canvases and uses age-old traditions to paint the portraits that are truly electrifying. The process takes several months depending on her workload but should you require urgent commissioned art of children, family or pets, please feel free to contact her at info101@rockwellportraits.com to see how she can accommodate you. Ms. Rockwell's professional artist etiquette ensures that you will be truly satisfied with any commissioned art of children, family or pets and that each piece is unique and a masterpiece in its own!
