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.

Why do people get custom pet portraits?

Pet owners love to share the joyous moments spent with their pets. Since pets are with us for only about 5-15 years, it's important to cherish and celebrate the affection they offer. The personal touch in a hand-painted portrait is what makes a pet's individuality and unique features stand out.

Additionally, custom pet paintings can be the best gift for friends or family members with pets. The thoughtfulness of this present makes it ideal for birthdays, Christmas, or a pet’s birthday. It’s also perfect for those 'just because' moments to show you care.

These paintings can also help pet owners memorialize their furry companions. High-quality portraits preserve the memory and unconditional love we feel for them, lasting forever.

What's the best medium to get a pet portrait painted in?

The best medium for your pet portrait depends on what style you are going for. Oil paintings offer rich, deep colors and a classic, elegant feel. They are wonderful for majestic breeds such as Great Dane, Siberian Husky, or Persian cats. Watercolors provide a soft, ethereal quality with delicate nuances. They can capture the soft, gentle traits of smaller breeds or those with fluffy coats, giving a dreamy feeling to the painting. Acrylics are versatile with vibrant, vivid colors and are quite enduring. They are perfect for depicting the loud, dynamic, active energy of breeds such as Border Collies, Jack Russell Terriers, or Siamese cats.

What's the process of ordering a pet portrait?

To get a custom pet painting exactly how you want it, choose a good pet photo first. You can go choose options for medium, size, and style, including background and pose preferences. Consider selecting a picture that truly portrays your pet’s character. Your pet's photo should be high-quality and with natural lighting. It should reflect the unique personality of your pet and the love between you two. Simply upload your picture and we'll start working on It right away.

Our designers can tweak your pet’s image to change some aspects. You can choose a custom background or even combine several pictures for a multiple pet portrait. If there's a need for changes, whether spotted by our designer or requested by you, we'll set out the proposed adjustments and confirm with you before moving forward. You can choose any aesthetic, from Renaissance style to hyper-realistic — the choice is absolutely yours!

After receiving your approval, the artist begins their craft. Throughout the process, we keep you updated and welcome your feedback. We want to make sure that the final piece reflects your vision and celebrates your pet’s uniqueness.

Can custom pet portraits include multiple pets?

Yes, custom pet portraits can include multiple pets. You can either provide a single photo of them together or several pictures, and we will combine them into one portrait. Two pets, three pets… It doesn't matter, we can do it all. Make sure the photos are with good lighting and get the best gift for yourself!

How to take care of my pet portrait after I get it?

Each type of painting requires its own care. Keep your pet portrait out of high-humidity areas to prevent stretching or warping. Custom paintings that are painted with oils should be dusted very softly and kept away from direct heat. Watercolor art pieces require a bit more care - framing them under UV-protective glass is better to avoid fading. No matter the medium, move your painting with clean hands and choose a stable environment for display. And of course, position the portrait out of reach so your pet can see it without risking damage by playing with it.

How do artists capture my pet's character in a portrait?

Artists will suggest the mediums that align closely with your pet's distinct qualities. Oil paints have depth and vibrancy, ideal for fur textures and rich colors. Watercolors, on the other hand, are excellent for a soft effect and can bring out the gentle nature of a pet’s eyes. Pastels seem to be another popular choice for pet portraits since they can blend smoothly. This can help portray the softness of fur and subtle gradients in color. However, the main ingredient is our artists' love for animals itself! They put all of that love and create a work of art that you'll cherish for years.

What frame styles complement custom portraits of pets?

Your pet art will be special and sentimental no matter the frame, just because it's your beloved furry friend. However, some frames can make the portrait look even prettier!

For oil and acrylic paintings with rich, vibrant colors, consider classic wooden frames or sleek black frames. These frames make the colors pop. Watercolor portraits are often softer and more ethereal. They pair well with light wood or minimalist white frames, which complement the delicate artwork without overwhelming it.

The color of your pet's fur can also influence your frame choice. Darker fur contrasts nicely with lighter frames. Conversely, pets with lighter coats pop against darker or more richly colored frames.

When it comes to custom portraits, you can customize anything and everything. Feel free to experiment with frames, colors, etc. 

What are some creative background ideas for my pet’s portrait?

Choosing the background can be the most thrilling part of ordering a custom pet portrait! There are many aesthetics you can go with. For a natural and adventurous feel, consider serene forests, sunny beaches, or vibrant gardens. Urban or graffiti-style backdrops create a modern, edgy vibe, while abstract designs in bold or soft pastels can accentuate your pet's features.

For a deeply personal touch, opt for settings like a favorite park or your backyard. You can even go for Renaissance and Victorian settings to give the painting a touch of elegance.

How do I choose the right size for my pet portrait?

Think about where you'll hang the painting first. A larger portrait might suit a bigger room, while a smaller one could be better for a cozy corner or a gallery wall. For a portrait with multiple pets, a larger size would guarantee all your pets are portrayed beautifully.

What are the things to consider before ordering custom pet portraits?

Custom pet portraits are personalized and meaningful, but they require careful consideration. The painting process is time-intensive, as each artwork is crafted to reflect your pet's unique personality. They are also priced higher than standard, mass-produced art due to the custom work and quality of materials.

Choosing a portrait as a gift adds another layer of decision-making. Styles and mediums vary widely. Without knowing your friend’s exact preferences, it can be challenging to select the perfect option. This is especially true for pet portraits, a niche gift that might not come up in everyday conversation.
