Ordering your pet or animal portrait
Photographs
Photos need to be as sharp and as clear as possible, sometimes I'm given a small photo with a pet in the distance. Remember I have never met your pet so I can only paint what I see.
Please supply the photo you want painting PLUS if possible any extra ones that show up other details i.e. another photo may show the animals colour better or its eye colour or maybe its ears are pricked up/ facing forward.
The more photos you send the better.
Photos can be sent via normal mail, where they will be returned undamaged
or can be sent via email, photos need to be between 500kb and 1MB (if too small and the image is blurred when enlarged)
Backgrounds
All paintings have a plain or mottled background, which is painted a neutral colour
but if you would prefer a certain colour background please inform me.
Detailed backgrounds are available but this does increase the price (please contact me for a quote)
Framing
My paintings are all sold unframed as this cuts down the postage size, but are supplied with a mount for easy framing.
I would suggest buying a frame the same size as the canvas size
and please use a frame with glass.
