Choose Between Two Options

  • $49 for $139 toward a gallery oil painting, which ranges from $134 to $389
  • $79 for $219 toward a custom portrait, which ranges from $209 to $531

DocoArt.com’s gallery selection encompasses original paintings, such as Yellow Illumination, as well as recreations of famous pieces, such as Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Kandinsky’s Farbstudie Quadrate.

Alternatively, customers may submit photos for DocoArt’s commissioned artists to turn into custom portraits; see examples here. Each work is fully customizable, and clients are free to request modifications to their portraits at no additional charge.

Artists paint each oil-paint reproduction by hand without the help of machines. The prices for a gallery piece range from $134 for a 12”x16” painting to $389 for a 48”x60” painting, based on difficulty; custom portraits range from $209 for a 12”x16” painting to $531 for a 24”x36” piece, based on the number of figures. Custom sizes are available upon request. Artists paint each oil-paint reproduction by hand without the help of machines. Each painting comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and ships only after clients pre-approve a proof that they first receive by mail.

DocoArt.com

With the proliferation of online companies turning uploaded images into machine-printed digital canvases, the founders of DocoArt.com decided to do something refreshingly low-tech. Instead of churning out digital prints of customers’ most treasured photos, they handed the images off to commissioned artists and asked them to hand paint custom oil paintings. By working from uploaded photos, DocoArt’s artists continue immortalizing family members, pets, and life-changing moments such as weddings and appeals-court victories. After customers submit their images, the artists go to work, hand painting on 100% cotton canvases that retain the oils better than synthetic ones. DocoArt’s team then emails buyers a digital draft of their custom portrait for either approval or feedback, shipping the finished painting once customers are satisfied.

DocoArt continues supporting its commissioned artists by also putting them to work on gallery paintings, which include reproductions of famous works, as well as original modern images and landscapes. This helps DocoArt not only support established artists but also assist the development of emerging artists.

The Groupon Guide to: VCR Troubleshooting

Though VCR machines are starting to lose popularity because of DVDs, there are still millions of people using them right at this very moment. If you're one of those millions and you're having problems, consult this handy VCR troubleshooting guide:

PROBLEM: The picture looks fuzzy.
SOLUTION: Though a loose connection could be at fault, it's much more likely that this fuzziness is due to a buildup of hair. Get rid of that hair the easy way—by poking around inside your VCR with a lit candle.

PROBLEM: There's a picture, but no sound plays.
SOLUTION: If you remembered to feed the VCR machine both the video and audio cassettes, then the culprit is definitely the hair. Did you not light the candle before poking around? If you definitely lit the candle, then something you ate made your hair resistant to flames and you'll have to get it out by wedging your head into the VCR and hoping the hair eventually reattaches itself to your scalp.

PROBLEM: The VCR is on fire.
SOLUTION: There's no way to determine how this fire started, but IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THE LIT-CANDLE SUGGESTION. To put it out, let the fire run its course. Now your VCR has been fire-cleaned!

PROBLEM: I get headaches while viewing movies.
SOLUTION: You're actually watching a DVD, which produces an irritatingly clear picture. Get rid of the DVD machine right away by smashing it with your durable, eternally useful VCR.

Why is my VCR on fire?
