Interested in commissioning a portrait for your pet? I’m here to tell you all the information you need.
Whether you’re interested in giving a portrait to a friend or family member. Or even as a memorial for your loved one, I’m glad to help you receive a memorable portrait of your pet.
Lets start with a photo
To have a good portrait we need a good photo, here are things to look for.
Look for good natural lighting that captures your pets face well. Make sure the eyes of your pet are not drowned out with shadows.
The photos will need to be chest up, close up, and high quality. I want to be able to capture as much detail as I can. If you have questions on whether or not your photo will work, don’t hesitate to email me at malleryalanaart@gmail.com, I’m happy to help answer any questions!
No humans. For commissions, I do pets only. If there are any humans hugging or petting your dog I will not be able to use it (depending on the photo). Please, remove any collars or accessories you would not want to be painted.
All that being said, I understand that not everyone will have a good photo due to the pet previously passing. I can be flexible and will do my best to work with what you have.
I will also send you a photo of the finished product before I send it out to you, just to make sure it is to your liking.
Examples of what NOT to send in:
Examples of what you SHOULD send in:
Backgrounds
As for backgrounds I do solid color backgrounds. I do not do landscape backgrounds. If you have any requests regarding special color combinations/mixes or a type of wash, let me know when reaching out. There may be an additional fee for special backgrounds.
