Tips for choosing the best photo:

  • Subject should be up close, detailed, and in focus.
    • A higher resolution digital file is preferred to be able to zoom in and capture all of the details. 
    • If the only photograph available is of lower resolution with very little detail provided, I may not be able to paint your pet at your desired image size.
  • Head and shoulder shots are a preferred view -- allowing me to zoom in and put the focus on their particular expression.
    • If you would be interested in a full body portrait please let me know so that I can give you a more accurate quote and suggestion in image size.
  • Natural lighting is recommended. Too much light from a flash can flatten or "white out" the image.
  • More than one picture can be combined to form the painting.   ​
