How I do Animal Portraits
-
I use your photos!
Finally a way to put all the cute pet photos to use! Did you capture the purrfect photo of Snickerdoodle or the funniest photo of Rex? I use your photos as reference! If you can’t decide what photo to send NO problem send me ALL the photos you love and I can pick one to best suit your canvas size!

Chaos Layers
Chaos layers that’s where I go to town with all the colors of the rainbow making beautiful layers. I use my “confetti” brush, stencils and cake decorating supplies. I do 5-10 layers of paint. It’s what gives your pet portrait all the fun colors in the end! If you hate the color pink (insert hated color here) I can always avoid it!

Reduction and Details
After all the layers are in I will draw your pet and put in the negative space (background), add shadows, highlights and facial features. I enjoy doing realistic facial features especially the eyes. I find if the eyes are right the rest of the painting will fall into place. Send me a message so we can talk about your pet portrait!
Commission Prices for 2023
My commissions prices are based off of the size of the canvas.
The bigger sizes are able to accommodate 2+ pets. Message me with your photo and we can discus what size I think will work for you!
I can paint any animal you want it does not have to be a pet! Want an elephant DONE! Giraffe? DONE!
8x10” $125
11x14” $175
16x20” $250
20x20” $280
18x24” $295
24x24” $335

I can do smaller 6x6” 8x8” or 10x10” canvases but require multiple to be commissioned at one time.
I am happy to ship art! In the continental USA shipping is usually between $20-$30.
I am happy to ship outside of the USA but charges will be higher, I am happy to calculate that cost for you.
