Factors to consider when choosing an artist or service

Choosing the perfect service for your dog's painting needs thought.

  • First, look at the service’s past work. Look to see if you like their style and how they paint.
  • Try to find a service that lets you choose different styles. You might want watercolor, pencil, or something else.
  • Check out customer reviews about the artist or service. This will give you an idea of what others think.
  • Think about price too. Pick an artist that fits in your budget.
  • Also, check how long it takes for them to complete a painting. Some artists may take longer than others.
  • Make sure they have good customer service as well. You should feel comfortable asking questions or raising concerns.
  • It is important that you see the work and approve it. Not all services allow you to do this, which can lead to a disappointing result.

Capturing the Essence: Pet Paintings from Photos

When it comes to pet paintings from photos, choosing the right image is crucial as it's the first step in accurately capturing your dog's unique personality and charm. Opt for a high-resolution photo that truly embodies your pet’s spirit - whether playful, serene, or noble.

Natural lighting and clear detail ensure an extraordinary result. Selecting an artist who excels at painting dogs can bring out the features you cherish most about your furry friend. This approach transforms simple images into memorable art pieces, which resonate deeply with every dog lover who sees them.

Tips for selecting the perfect photo

Choosing a great photo of your pet is a must. Here are some tips to guide you:

  1. Try taking the photo outside or near a window. The natural light will make your dog or cat look their best.
  2. Level shots work best for pet photos. Take the shot at eye-level with your pet.
  3. Stand close to your dog when snapping the picture. This allows you to catch all their special features.
  4. Allow the pet to be the star of the photo but leave space on all sides so that its anatomy and details can be seen.
  5. Patience pays off in this kind of project. Creating pet portraits takes time but they're worth it!

Are pet portraits worth it?

Yes, pet portraits are worth it. They hold great emotional value for pet lovers. If your pet means a lot to you, a portrait can be a special way to show this love. The art piece catches the charm of your pet in its own way.

It stands as a bold mark of their place in your life and heart. Also, custom portraits let the fun parts of your furry friends come out in ways that real photos do not capture often.

Lastly, they make great gifts that touch hearts deeply while leaving long-lasting joy in both pets and owners' lives.

How long does a pet portrait take?

Making a pet portrait takes time. It depends on the artist and their work load.

As a general rule we will send you a proof for approval within 3-4 working days. 

We produce locally and ship in the US, UK, Europe, and Australia. These are the shipping times:

  • United States: 10-15 business days ( usually sooner).

  • Europe: 10-14 business days.
  • Australia: 5-9 business days.

What is the best size for pet portrait?

Plan where you want to place the artwork and measure your space. For a standout piece, go big. If you're aiming for a snug vibe, a smaller canvas will do the trick. Remember, the canvas should occupy about a third of the wall's width.

Picking the Art Style: Decide on the artwork style and the detail level you prefer. A larger canvas can showcase detailed brushstrokes, while a smaller one suits minimalist designs better.

Matching the Room's Vibe: Evaluate your room's current mood. If it's already adorned with various artworks, a smaller canvas will complement without overwhelming. For minimalist spaces, a large, bold canvas adds a splash of personality.

What background colors for dog paintings?

Choosing the right color for your dog painting's backdrop is key. A soft, vague background lets your pet stand out. Pets with white, black, or brown fur look great against rich greens and blues.

These colors give a lively and fun feel to the artwork. You can also try other shades offered by custom pet painting shops. Picking a special color can make your dog portrait more beautiful and eye-catching.

Where do you hang pet portraits?

You can hang your pet portraits in many spots. Places where you spend a lot of time work best. For example, living rooms and bedrooms make great choices. They offer easy views of the art.

Another good spot is the hallway or stairway. These areas often have blank spaces that need filling up. Hanging your pet portrait there will surely bring smiles to anyone who walks by!
