Steps For Ordering Your Pet Portrait

​

PHOTOS

​

-High QUALITY photo of your pet.

​

-NATURAL LIGHT is best as this shows better detail to paint from and allows for correct colourings. Pictures taken outside or by a light window area. With even lighting to minimise shadows.

​

-Ensuring that the KEY FEATURES, eyes, nose and any unique features are shown well. 

​

- ANGLE is best from eye level of the pet. The best way to achieve this is to get the camera down to their level and have a toy or treat to keep the attention and be able to have the eye gaze where you want it.

​

- POSE is important as I will be using the pose in your picture for the painting, please do make sure it's how you want your finished product to look. Sitting is best for pose rather than standing or laying.

​

-QUANTITY & QUALITY both is great for us to find the best photo to paint from. I can pick up on small details and colourings in having multiple pictures and angles. Also helps me gain an understanding for character of the pet.

(Happy for you to give some notes on character and any unique traits your pet has)

​

I know not all of these can be possible if the beloved pet has passed or you want a younger picture painted. so please don't feel that your pictures aren't good enough! I've painted from 20 year old disposable camera photos before. Do send any pictures you have and we can create a memorable special piece for you to treasure or gift to a loved one.
