PHOTO REQUIREMENTS FOR BEST RESULTS
The painting will be made from one picture and will resemble said picture as much as possible. The quality of the photo (visible details, lights, clarity, absence of shadows etc.) will heavily influence the quality of the painting. What can't be seen on the picture can't be painted.
A CLOSE UP FRONT SHOT (typical portrait style) is required. If you're taking a new picture, it's best to take them during natural day light and ideally at face height of the dog while they are sitting or standing in front of you. Slight upwards look may be okay. You can submit multiple pictures and I will chose the best one.
If possible please avoid sending screen shots from Instagram etc. as it lessens the quality of the picture and makes it more blurry.
We understand that in certain circumstances, such as a pet having already passed away, it may not be possible to take more/better pictures than what currently is available. In that case, please submit the best picture possible and I'll be happy to discuss options. In the case where it is a surprise gift for someone else, if you can't find an appropriate picture, please inquire about our gift certificates.
