Portraits of Pets
Capture Your Pet’s Personality with Beautiful Pet Portraits
A portrait painting of your beloved pet can be a wonderful way to honour their memory, create a lasting family heirloom and ensure that your furry friends are immortalized in the most beautiful way possible.
How to choose the perfect pet portrait painter
When choosing the right artist for a painting of your pet, there are numerous options. You want someone who can capture the spirit and personality of your beloved furry friend, but how do you know if they can do it?
The answer is simple: ask around. Talk to friends and family who have commissioned an artist before, ask them about their experience and whether or not they were happy with the result. Pet owners tend to be very passionate about their animals, so if they’re pleased with the results, you can be sure it will be good!
Look at the artist’s portfolio closely
To find an artist whose style matches yours, look at their portfolio before making any decisions. Don’t just look at their most recent pieces — dig deeper into their past work and see how they’ve evolved. You want an artist who has been practising for years and has worked with a wide range of animals: dogs, cats, etc.
High-Quality Photo
When you commission a pet portrait, sending a high-resolution photo of your gorgeous animal is super important. A quality image will give the artist all the details they need to create an accurate and amazing portrait of your pet. High-resolution photos allow the artist to see every little detail, like the colour of your pet’s eyes, the patterns in their fur, and the shape of their cute little face. Plus, it’s super easy to send a digital photo – just make sure it’s in .jpeg or .png format. Trust us; the extra effort is worth it. Your artist will be able to create a portrait that truly captures the unique spirit and personality of your beloved pet.
How Long Does It Take To Paint Portraits of Pets
Painting a pet portrait with oil paints can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the canvas size. The time it takes to complete a picture hangs on the complexity of the subject matter and the artist’s experience and skill level. For example, a small painting of a single pet on a 25.4cm x 30.5cm canvas may take closer to 2 weeks to complete, while a larger portrait of multiple pets on a 40.6cm x 50.8cm canvas may take closer to 6 weeks. The artist must also factor in the drying time for the oil paints, as they can take several days to a week to dry completely before additional layers can be applied. Overall, the artist must take their time and put in the necessary effort to create a high-quality, detailed portrait that their client will be satisfied with.
