CUSTOM WATERCOLOR PET PORTRAIT DETAILS
Every custom watercolor pet portrait is hand-painted by me with care and attention to the unique personality of your beloved companion. Whether you're celebrating a new furry family member, honoring a cherished pet, or searching for the perfect personalized gift, each portrait is created as an original work of art you'll treasure for years to come.
What You'll Receive
Photo Guidelines
The quality of your portrait begins with the quality of your photos.
Please send the clearest, highest-resolution images you have—close-up photos are best so I can capture your pet's unique expression, markings, and personality. Chest-up photos work beautifully, and the more reference photos you can provide, the better!
Place your order and email your photos to: [email protected]
Custom Sizes
Standard portrait sizes of 5 x 7in. and 8x 10in. are available. If you're interested in a larger custom piece (larger than 11× 14 in.), I'd love to create something special for you. Please contact me before ordering so I can provide a custom quote.
More Than Just Original Artwork
Your original watercolor portrait can become so much more than wall art. Many clients choose to use their artwork for:
All Pets Welcome
Dogs may be the most popular, but I love painting all kinds of animals—from cats and horses to birds, rabbits, goats, and everything in between.
Production Timeline
Please allow approximately 30 days for your portrait to be completed. Need it sooner? Reach out before ordering, and I'll do my best to accommodate your deadline whenever possible. Once your painting is finished, it will be carefully packaged and shipped to you, and you'll receive a notification when it's on its way.
Sketch Reviews
Most portraits are painted directly without a proofing process, allowing me to keep my work fresh and expressive. If you'd like to request a preliminary sketch—or if your project requires one—a $25 sketch review fee will apply for each round of revisions. Please note that sketch reviews may extend your completion date.
My Artistic Style
Each portrait is an original watercolor painting created in my signature painterly style. Rather than producing an exact photographic copy, my goal is to capture your pet's spirit, personality, and the little details that make them so loved.
Because every painting is created by hand, slight artistic interpretation is part of the beauty of original artwork. The final result may vary slightly from your reference photos depending on image quality and the natural characteristics of watercolor.
If there's something especially important you'd like included—such as preserving a favorite expression, highlighting a unique marking, or omitting a collar—please include those notes when placing your order so I can incorporate them before I begin painting.
Returns & Cancellations
Because every portrait is custom-created specifically for you, custom watercolor pet portraits are non-refundable and cannot be returned.
