A good reference photo for a commissioned piece should be high quality, well-lit, and clear.

For a pet portrait, try to capture the pet’s unique features and personality. Natural lighting, preferably outdoors or near a window, helps avoid harsh shadows and enhances details. The photo should be taken at the pet’s eye level to create a natural and engaging perspective. A sharp, high-resolution image is essential to capture fine details like fur texture and eye expression. Avoid filters or extreme angles that distort proportions. Multiple photos from different angles can be helpful, but the main reference should showcase the pet in a pose that reflects its character.

The final price of an unframed portrait depends on the size, technique, and complexity of the artwork, including background details and the number of subjects. Shipping costs are calculated along with the portrait price. If you choose to have a painting framed, please note that framing may increase shipping costs due to the added weight.

Once the final price is agreed upon, a 50% deposit is required before work begins. This upfront payment secures your commission and your place in the queue, as portraits are completed in the order they are booked.
