Custom Pet Portraits
Treat yourself or a loved one to a hand-painted work of art you’ll absolutely adore.
Services
I specialize in creating heartfelt personalized portraits of your beloved companions. After reviewing the selection of photos you’ve shared with me, we can discuss which one works best for my style, captures your pet’s charm, and fits well with the desired size. I’m particularly drawn to the photos that feature natural light and shadows, as they provide depth and richness to a watercolor painting. The turn around time for my paintings is 2-3 weeks depending on the work flow. If you would like your portrait on a specific date, let me know in advanced and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. With the skills I’ve honed, I will ensure that you are happy with the art work.
Materials
I use the highest of quality watercolors, gouache, and colored pencil on 100% cotton 300 gsm, cold pressed Arches watercolor paper.
