YOUR PET buying Realistic Hand Painted Pet Portrait from Your Photo Custom Pet Portraits, Memorial, Pet Loss, Pet Portrait Commission, Dog lover

When painting custom artwork, I strive to bring the beauty and character of each beloved pet into every portrait. I'm very happy to work with you to customize your masterpiece just the way you like it!

What you'll do:

The first step after you order is to send a high definition photograph to me through Etsy or my email at holderfineartstudio [!at] gmail.com. If you're not sure which picture to send, I'm very happy to help you decide. We'll consider expression, lighting, color, texture, etc. in making the best choice for capturing the lovely features of your special pal. Usually a smart phone camera is more than sufficient to take a good hd photo. Of course the higher the resolution the more detail I can add to your portrait. I've found taking a photo in natural light (outdoors) is good, as well as being on the same level as your pet, or eye level.

**If this is a memorial portrait and you don't have a high resolution photo please contact me. We may be able to work with what you have on a case to case basis.

When you order, you'll have your choice of acrylic or oil paints. Acrylic paints dry quickly resulting in a product that will be ready to ship a day or two after it's varnished. Oils will require an additional 3-4 weeks drying time before varnishing and shipping.
If you're not sure which you prefer, I believe oils blend beautifully and may appear softer and the color tones richer. On the other hand, acrylic paints may appear more crisp, vibrant and bold. You can't go wrong either way.
We'll also discuss background options as in a solid color, studio lighting with or without color variations, or realistic- what is seen in the photograph.

What I'll do:

The painting will be done on stretched canvas with wooden stretcher bars. The depth will be suitable for your frame as the canvas is approximately 3/4 of an inch deep. Once I've begun painting you'll be included in the step by step progress of your painting and be given opportunities to make any changes you'd like during the process. I want you to absolutely love your new painting! When you're satisfied with the completed artwork it will be varnished (note drying time) and shipped to you.


Shipping:

The artwork will be securely packaged and tracking information will be provided.


Miscellaneous:

The artist claims the right to use reproductions of the work for display on websites, social media, and buying exhibits.
