Movie scene painting

What is a movie scene painting?

It is a painting made by hand by Giulia Dal Bon, on canvas or on paper, from a film image: the characters, the setting, the light of the shot, and the line of dialogue written by hand if you wish. The two canvases shown on this page are painted in black and white. It is an original work, painted with a brush, to hang at home or to give to a film lover.

Which image should I send to have a movie scene painted?

A screenshot of the scene is enough, or a photo of the screen taken at the right moment. If the shot moves, send several images: one gives the faces, another the setting or the light. You can also describe the scene in your own words. Giulia Dal Bon composes the painting from these images and shows you the composition on the sketch, before she paints.

Can the line of dialogue from the scene be written on the painting?

Yes. Giulia Dal Bon draws the letters by hand and places the sentence in the composition, above the characters or in a corner of the setting, as on the second canvas of this page. You choose the line, and you see where it sits on the sketch before the painting begins. Giulia studied graphic design at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan: lettering is part of her craft.

Which size should I choose for a movie scene?

A cinema scene is wider than it is tall, and the canvas follows that framing. The 50×70 cm gives the characters real presence above a sofa; the 40×50 cm suits an office or bedroom wall; the 30×40 cm works well for a close-up, one face, two gazes. On paper, a framed A4 makes an easy gift to carry. For a larger size, Giulia Dal Bon paints the dimensions you wish, quote on request.
