CUSTOM PET PORTRAIT FROM PHOTO

About me:

Welcome to my Etsy shop!
Have you ever wondered about having your beloved pet portrait on your wall? You're in the right place.
Drawing and painting has been my hobby since I can remember and pet portraits are especially dear to me. I try to capture the personality and soul of a pet, its all in the eyes and that's a part I focus most on. The painting then comes to life.
Using top quality oil paints on stretched canvas, ensures the durability of the painting, it will be with you forever. I accept commissions from all over the world, so feel free to contact me if you would like to have your very own pet portrait. What better way to immortalize your beloved pet?

Photos:
Quality of the photos is very important. The more details, the better your painting will be. It is also crucial for the photo to be sharp and in focus. Please have your flash turned off when taking a photo to avoid red eye and glowing effect. Lighting should be natural, preferably outdoors.

Materials:
It is important to use high quality art materials in order for the portraits to last through generations.
For my oil portraits I use Winsor & Newton Artisan oil paints.
The canvases I use are cotton and linen stretched canvases.

Prices:
Commission Pricing Prices depend on the size of the portrait and a number of pets within the same portrait.
Each portrait takes many hours to complete, so the larger the portrait, the longer it takes.

Framing:
All prices are for unframed portraits. Unfortunately, I do not offer framing.
All my custom pet portraits are provided unframed. The sides of the painting are painted, so it is ready to hang without frame for more contemporary look.

Please note that for large portrait sizes I might need 4-5 weeks to paint it before it is ready to ship. The time includes an additional week to give the painting enough time to dry before shipping. The larger the painting and the more pets in one painting, the longer it takes to paint.

The painting will be carefully packaged in a carton box and shipped by Priority Mail Parcel (tracking number will be available).

For shipping times (how long it takes from sending the painting to receiving it) please refer to my shop policies.

I am based in Prabuty, Poland and accept commissions worldwide. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to commission your very own pet portrait.
