Our team helps you choose the right medium, style, and subject to match your vision and the atmosphere you want the portrait to convey.

Why choose acrylic for pet portraits?

Acrylic paint dries faster than other mediums and is extremely versatile, making it ideal for creating traditional pet portraits on canvas. They are ideal for modern art and bold portraits, as they allow for sharp lines and bright colors. Acrylics are perfect for capturing the energy and personality of pets, from active dogs to playful cats.

When painting different dog breeds, it's important to consider the unique fur characteristics and color variations to achieve a realistic portrayal. Acrylics are also durable and long-lasting. These paintings are resistant to both light and moisture, preserving your pet’s memories for years to come.

How do you order a custom acrylic pet portrait?

To order an acrylic pet portrait, begin by selecting a reference photo that highlights your pet’s personality. Next, choose a style that matches your preferences and the size that fits your space.

You can select a turnaround time that suits your needs. We offer free shipping with a 30-day completion time. For quicker service, our express option delivers in 17 days.

After making your selections, our team will confirm the details with you. Our designer creates a draft of your portrait, which you’ll review and approve.

Once approved, our artists begin crafting the final piece. You pay 10% upfront, with the balance due after you approve the finished work. This ensures your acrylic pet portrait is exactly as you imagined and delivered on time.

How to maintain your acrylic pet portrait?

Acrylic paintings are durable, but they still require care to ensure they last. Keep your portrait out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and dust it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth.

Because acrylics are moisture-resistant, humidity isn’t a concern. However, avoid placing the portrait in areas with extreme temperature changes or direct heat.

At Photo 2 Painting, you can order custom frames with your portrait. A quality frame will protect the painting from dust and damage. For extra protection, consider using UV-protective glass to shield the artwork from light exposure.

Can you customize your commissioned acrylic pet portrait?

Yes, your commissioned pet portrait can be fully customized to match your artistic vision. The importance of drawing in the customization process cannot be overstated, as our artist's expertise in hand-drawn portraits ensures a unique and high-quality final product. Whether it’s a specific background, color palette, or a personal message, we’ll ensure the final piece reflects your desires.

Our process is collaborative, allowing you to provide input on backgrounds, colors, and style. Once the design is approved, we bring your vision to life with attention to every detail.

Why acrylic pet portraits?

Acrylic pet portraits are versatile and durable, with bright colors that bring your pet’s personality to life. These artworks are fade and moisture-resistant, ensuring that your pet’s image remains vibrant for years.

Acrylic portraits make thoughtful, personalized gifts for special occasions like birthdays, holidays, or “just because” moments. They capture the unique bond between pets and their owners in a way that traditional gifts cannot.

Beyond their emotional value, acrylic pet portraits can also be an investment in art, adding beauty to your home and celebrating your pet.

What are the downsides of custom acrylic pet portraits?

Custom acrylic pet portraits are more expensive than prints due to the time and expertise involved in creating a unique piece. There is often a wait between ordering and receiving your artwork, especially for highly customized designs.

Because they are so personalized, acrylic pet portraits may not fit into all home decor, especially if tastes or styles change over time.
