Lifelike Pet Portraits that Make Excellent Gifts

If you are looking for a petportrait artist to make a lovely painting of your beloved dog or cat, you need to do a little homework on the internet. Pet portraits on canvas will make you feel the same way that you do when you see your pet in person. They will make you feel that your pet’s memories are etched in your mind forever. You will need to select the right place to get your dog portraits or pet portraits done and delivered at your doorstep. Definitely, you would not like to hire any less than the best artist for the paintings of your favorite fur child.  

The first thing that you will have to do is select the best photograph of your furry friend and inbox it to your commissioned pet portrait artist. You can fill a form at the website of that artist or simply talk to him on phone or exchange a couple of emails. Good artists receive dozens of commission requests and they always seem to be busy in transforming all pet photographs into unbelievable lifelike portraits on canvas. You may bump into an artist who does not have a few minutes to spare on listening to your details. In that case, it is recommended that you stay away from such artists. You need to find an artist who can understand your feelings and appreciates your association with your pet. The artist needs to study fine details about your pet’s eyes, the fur, and other physical attributes, along with the entire unique personality. If the artist truly understands the relationship and bond you two have developed, only then can the artist bring out the exact feelings and emotions that you and your pet have for each other.

The top oil pet portrait artists obtain their art supplies from some of the best stores in town. They use stretched canvas as the base for their portrait projects. There are several sizes of canvases available for customers to choose from. The artists take requests from customers for custom sizes of canvases as well. In case the standard sizes do not satisfy you, you can email the details of your choice of canvas size to the artist. The dog portraits and pet portraits can be framed to beautify them further. You can choose the frame to give your pet’s oil painting a royal look or choose a frame to go with the contemporary interior of your home. Border the frame with silver, brass or gold filigree frames. You can even go for an animal-themed frame - the choice is entirely yours. The prices, sizes and styles of frames are often advertised at the pet portrait artist websites. In case the commission you choose does not offer framing services, you can take your pet portrait to a local framing store.
