Mini pet portraits..
These little guys are a perfect gift for a loved one or yourself!
A great addition to a desk or gallery wall.
These are made to order and hand painted with high quality watercolours on cold pressed 300gsm watercolour paper.
Once you've placed your order, send me over your images to cmg.art [!at] outlook.com
I can help you choose the best image to paint from if needed or if you have a favourite photo in mind let know.
Once I've completed your piece I will send you some preview images to proof and if there is anything you would like me to add or change to ensure its perfect.
Then when all confirmed I will send your piece special tracked delivery in safe cardboard backed packaging.
Typically turn around time for this style is 2-3 days once I've received images, although if you need the painting for a specific date or quickly then please let me know in your email.
some photo tips:
-High QUALITY photo of your pet.
-NATURAL LIGHT is best as this shows better detail to paint from and allows for correct colourings. Pictures taken outside or by a light window area. With even lighting to minimise shadows.
-Ensuring that the KEY FEATURES, eyes, nose and any unique features are shown well.
- ANGLE is best from eye level of the pet. The best way to achieve this is to get the camera down to their level and have a toy or treat to keep the attention and be able to have the eye gaze where you want it.
- POSE is important as I will be using the pose in your picture for the painting, please do make sure it's how you want your finished product to look. Sitting is best for pose rather than standing or laying.
-QUANTITY & QUALITY both is great for us to find the best photo to paint from. I can pick up on small details and colourings in having multiple pictures and angles. Also helps me gain an understanding for character of the pet.
(Happy for you to give some notes on character and any unique traits your pet has)
I know not all of these can be possible if the beloved pet has passed or you want a younger picture painted. so please don't feel that your pictures aren't good enough! I've painted from 20 year old disposable camera photos before. Do send any pictures you have and we can create a memorable special piece for you to treasure or gift to a loved one.
