I was hesitant

I was hesitant about purchasing a painting online from someone I didn't know. However, I like my watercolor painting and am pleased that I made my reservations!! The procedure was simple, and I was allowed to make modifications along the way... now I have a unique souvenir of something very close to my heart!! This was a fantastic experience that I will definitely repeat!

All expectations were exceeded

The outcome exceeded all expectations, and the process was fantastic. Completely smooth and efficient. I adored the portrait and wholeheartedly suggest it to anybody looking to keep their memories via painting.

Communication is incredibly great.

Communication is fantastic. It didn't take long in the process for me to realize that my money was being spent on a company that I could trust and knew would leave me happy.

Masterpiece of Memory

I am astounded by how simple the procedure was and astounded by the stunning painting of my favorite photograph. I trusted Photo2painting to select the greatest artist for my painting, and Jeff exceeded my expectations! I would (and have before) recommended this company to make a work of art for anyone.

Exceptional Memory!

I bought this commission for my son, our house had been burnt 10 years ago and all pictures of ourselves had been burnt as well. So, it is unbelievable what photo2painting’s artist has done - he’s created the exact copy of the only childhood photograph of my son (which I had in old iPad). This painting is truly amazing with so much detail and personality. This was the best gift I could have ever given him. Absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend! Very heartfelt gift. We can pass down for generations!

Tears of happiness!

Photo2Painting and its artists are amazing! My Grandpa passed away right before I graduated from university. He was granma's best friend and we were very close. He has been gone for 10 years this year. It's been hard on my grandma this year and I wanted to give her something special for Christmas. I had an oil painting of my grandpa and her.Her reaction spoke volumes! She loved it so much! She was crying and I was crying! It was the most special moment to get to share with her! Very positive feedback from me!

I love my Painting!

The painting is a stunning representation of our dog. When we first saw the painting, we were all in tears. Every day, we miss our dog, but looking at this painting helps us feel as though we still get to see him. Such a great way to remember our beloved dog. The customer service is excellent as well. Super helpful, easy to reach and very responsive. The artwork is excellent, and I am thankful to the artist for creating it. It turned out far better than I had hoped. Honestly, the experience with Photo2painting.comwas nothing but excellent.

Grandad: I love you!

I saw videos of reveals for this site on Facebook. Of course, I was doubtful at first, but after reading several testimonials reviews, I knew I had to try. It's worth every penny. From the time you place your purchase until you receive your painting, you will receive regular updates. That alone is a huge relief. This entire experience was incredible. I will absolutely use this site again and have already recommended it to others. The artwork of my dad and his grandfather Sam (who died many years ago) was flawless. Julie has incredible talent. Because of how lifelike it appeared, my partner, our friends, and family couldn't believe it was genuine! I was quite pleased with my experience.

What kind of custom charcoal pet portraits should you commission?

Choosing the right custom charcoal pet portrait depends on its purpose. Is it for personal enjoyment or as a gift? We offer portraits for both, whether it’s for your living room or as a thoughtful gift to a pet lover. Many choose to memorialize a beloved dog, creating a lasting tribute through art.

Think about where the artwork will go. A larger portrait is ideal for a feature wall, while a smaller one fits perfectly in a cozy nook. If it’s a gift, consider the recipient’s preferences—a charcoal pet portrait to honor a pet’s memory or celebrate a pet’s lively personality. Capturing the unique character of each pet is essential, as every animal has its own special traits that make it distinct.

Our team will help you choose the right size and style to match your vision and the artwork’s intended atmosphere.

What are the most popular mediums for custom pet portraits?

For pet portraits, charcoal is an excellent choice due to its timeless and classic look. Charcoal allows for soft, subtle shading that captures the fur texture and expressions of pets. Artists are often drawn to this medium for its ability to create striking black-and-white images, highlighting every detail with dramatic contrast.

Other popular mediums include oil for rich colors, acrylic for a modern, vibrant look, and watercolor for soft, ethereal effects. However, charcoal remains unmatched for creating dramatic, detailed, and elegant portraits.

What's the process of ordering custom charcoal pet portraits?

When ordering your custom charcoal pet portrait, start by selecting a photo that captures your pet’s unique personality. Then, choose the size that best fits your space and aesthetic preferences.

Starting your own pet portrait business can be a fulfilling journey, allowing you to express your creativity while capturing the unique personalities of pets.

After we discuss your specific requirements, our designer drafts an initial version of the portrait. You’ll have the opportunity to review the draft and provide feedback to ensure it meets your expectations.

Once approved, our artist begins creating your custom charcoal portrait. You pay only 10% upfront, with the remainder due after you approve the final artwork. This process ensures that your pet portrait perfectly captures your vision and is delivered within the agreed turnaround time.

How can you preserve your charcoal pet portraits?

Charcoal art needs special care to maintain its beauty. Always frame your portrait under glass to protect it from dust and smudging. UV-protective glass is best to prevent sunlight from causing fading.

Keep your portrait in a stable environment with consistent temperature and humidity to avoid damage. Avoid placing it near direct sunlight or heat sources.

If you’re gifting a charcoal pet portrait, share these care tips with the recipient to ensure the artwork stays in pristine condition for years to come.

Can you customize your commissioned charcoal pet portrait?

Yes, you can fully customize your commissioned charcoal pet portrait to reflect your pet’s personality. We can help you select the background, pose, and even add a name or special date for a personal touch.

Our design process is highly collaborative, allowing you to modify elements like background styles or text. Once the design is finalized, our artist will bring your vision to life.

FAQs

Our dedicated customer support team is available to provide updates and answer any questions about your order. They will keep you informed at each stage, from confirmation to completion.

Common sizes for charcoal pet portraits range from 8” x 10” for smaller spaces to 20” x 24” for larger impact. Other popular sizes include 11” x 14”, 16” x 20”, and 24” x 30”.

We encourage your involvement throughout the process. You’ll have multiple chances to approve and preview your portrait, ensuring it aligns with your vision.

Yes! You’ll receive a preview of your portrait before it ships. The final payment is only due after you approve the final artwork.
