The Commission Process

Custom pet portraits are a collaborative journey. Here is how we will work together to bring your vision to life.

1. Contact Me ✉️

Reach out to start the conversation! Let me know your preferred painting size and a little bit about the pet you’d like me to paint by using the “Let’s Get Started” button.

2. Send Photos📸

High-quality reference images are the key to a great portrait. Please provide:

  • One Main Photo: This should clearly show your pet’s face and expression, with the pose and framing you’d like for the painting.

  • Additional Photos: Please share a few extra images (close-ups and full-body shots if possible) to help capture details and proportions.

  • Lighting: Natural light works best. Photos taken outdoors or near a window help capture true colors and details, which translate beautifully in watercolor.

Pet Portrait Photo Tips

  • Use natural light near a window or outdoors.

  • Get eye-level with your pet.

  • Make sure the eyes are clear and in focus.

  • Choose a simple background.

No worries if your photos aren’t perfect — I’ll work with what you have to capture your pet beautifully. 🐾
