How is a hand-painted pet portrait made?

A painter works from your photograph and paints your pet by hand on canvas, layer by layer, matching the colouring and markings in the photo. It is a painting, not a print.

What photo should I send?

A clear, well-lit photo of your pet's face. Send a couple of angles so the painter can see the coat and the markings.

Will it look exactly like my pet?

The painter works from your photo and paints what they can see in it, so the result is a hand-painted likeness rather than a pixel copy of the photograph.
