Commission a pet portrait
I paint your portrait based on one of your favourite photos. I don’t use digital processes or photoshop. Your custom portrait is much more than copying a photo – I aim to capture the pet's personality in a handmade painting that brings your pet to life.
I aim to make the process of ordering a pet portrait as easy as possible for you. and only use high quality professional materials to create your pet portraits.
Each portrait takes many hours of detailed work. If you want the painting completed for a specific date or occasion, you will need to allow plenty of time. It is common for there to be a two month wait but I am only one person and need concentrated time to work on your portrait, so, depending on my other commitments, it could be longer.
Photos
It's often very difficult to find a single great quality photo that highlights a pet’s personality the best. I am always happy to receive a collection of photos that taken together tell a story or showcase different personality traits.
Composition
It's often very difficult to find a single great quality photo that highlights a pet’s personality the best. I am always happy to receive a collection of photos that taken together tell a story or showcase different personality traits.
I spend time looking through all the photos which are available. By collecting ideas from their photos, and after discussions with my customers, I create a composition for my customers to approve.
Format
I prefer to work from digital photographs but I would recommend using registered post to send any hard copy photos.
I generally keep the background simple to make your pet the star of the show. If you would like a special background, toy or favourite blanket I will do my best to oblige.
Multi pet portraits
If you would like a portrait of all your pets together, I understand how impossible it is to photograph them all sitting nicely next to each other.
I will work with as many images as I can, so that I can create the right composition to combine them in one painting.
