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.

Can You Customize Your Watercolor Pet Portraits?

Yes, you can customize your watercolor pet portraits to reflect your pet's unique personality and characteristics. Our artists work closely with you to ensure every detail, from the background to the specific pose and expression, matches your vision. Whether you want a serene forest setting, a playful park scene, or a simple abstract background that highlights your pet, we can make it happen.

You can choose from various customization options such as incorporating multiple pets into one portrait, adding a personalized message, or selecting specific colors that complement your home decor. The size and style of the portrait can also be tailored to your preferences. Our watercolor paintings capture the gentle and ethereal qualities of your pet. They bring their spirit to life with soft, delicate hues.

How to Choose a Painting Style for a Watercolor Pet Portrait?

Choosing a painting style for your watercolor pet portrait includes selecting the overall feel, background and color palette, and the size and framing options. Start by considering the overall feel you want for the portrait. A realistic style can capture every detail and nuance of your pet’s appearance. It is a perfect choice for those who want a lifelike representation. On the other hand, a whimsical style can add a touch of fun and playfulness, ideal for pets with quirky personalities.

Next, think about the background and color palette that will best complement your pet and the space where you plan to display the portrait. Personalized backgrounds, such as a favorite park or a cozy home setting, can add sentimental value and make the artwork more meaningful. Soft pastels might suit a gentle pet, while vibrant, bold colors could better depict an energetic animal. 

What’s the Process of Ordering Watercolor Pet Portraits?

The process of ordering watercolor pet portraits is straightforward and designed to ensure you receive a beautiful, customized piece of art. First, choose a high-quality photo that truly captures your pet’s personality and character. This image will serve as the reference for the portrait. Almost everything in the portrait can be customized, from the background to specific poses, so providing a good quality picture is essential. Discuss with our team the details of your portrait, including the size and any specific elements you want to highlight.

Once the initial details are finalized, our artists will create a draft of the portrait. This draft is shared with you for feedback and approval, ensuring that the final artwork aligns with your vision. You have the opportunity to request adjustments or changes to make sure every detail is perfect. This process helps create a portrait that not only captures the essence of your pet but also meets your expectations in terms of aesthetics and personalization.

After you approve the draft, the artist will complete the handmade watercolor pet painting. Throughout the process, we keep you updated on the progress and welcome any additional input. Once finished, the portrait is carefully packaged and shipped to you. We offer a variety of frames that can be selected to complement your painting, but you'll need to place the frame on yourself upon delivery.

How to Preserve a Watercolor Pet Portrait?

To preserve your watercolor pet portrait, start by selecting a frame with UV-protective glass to protect the delicate pigments from fading. This type of glass helps shield the watercolor from harmful sunlight. Additionally, make sure the portrait is mounted on acid-free paper to prevent any potential degradation over time.

It’s important to display your custom pet watercolor in an environment with stable temperature and humidity levels. Avoid hanging the portrait in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms or kitchens, as excessive humidity can cause the paper to warp and the watercolor to deteriorate. Keeping the portrait away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, is also crucial to maintain its integrity.

Regular, gentle cleaning is essential to keep your watercolor pet art looking its best. Dust the frame and glass lightly with a soft cloth to remove any surface dirt. Avoid using cleaning sprays or water directly on the glass, as the moisture can seep in and damage the watercolor. With these careful steps, your handmade watercolor pet painting will remain a lasting tribute to your beloved pet.

Is a Custom Watercolor Pet Portrait a Good Gift?

Yes, a custom watercolor pet portrait makes an exceptional gift for any pet lover. Whether as a heartfelt present or a touching memorial gift, these portraits capture the unique personality and essence of a beloved pet. It creates a lasting tribute that can be cherished for years. The delicate and soft hues of watercolor bring out the gentle and loving nature of pets. This customized artwork is not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Custom pet watercolor is ideal for people looking to give a unique and personal gift because it shows thoughtfulness and consideration. This is because the painting reflects the pet's character and the special bond shared with its owner. Whether it's a birthday, holiday, or 'just because' gift, this personalized piece of art will stand out as a memorable and cherished keepsake. It's also perfect as a memorial gift. These paintings might provide comfort and a lasting tribute to a pet that has crossed the rainbow bridge. However, if you feel like this type of gift might make the receiver uncomfortable, don’t risk it. This is a sensitive topic, after all.

Like any other gift, it's important to make sure that a pet portrait aligns with the recipient's style and preferences. Consider their taste in art and home decor to make sure that the painting will be appreciated and proudly displayed. With the ability to customize everything from the background to the pose, you can create a piece that perfectly matches their aesthetic and honors the special relationship they have with their pet.

What are the Benefits of Watercolor Pet Portraits?

One of the main benefits of ordering a custom portrait is the ability to capture your pet's unique personality and characteristics in a beautiful, hand-painted piece of art. These portraits are crafted by experienced artists who pay close attention to detail. They portray every nuance of your pet’s appearance with accuracy.

A custom watercolor pet portrait also makes for a heartfelt and meaningful gift. Whether you are looking to surprise a friend or family member on a special occasion or provide a comforting memorial for a pet that has passed away, these portraits are a thoughtful choice. The delicate and soft nature of watercolor paints adds a gentle and timeless quality to the artwork. So it becomes a cherished keepsake that can be proudly displayed in any home.

Custom pet portraits offer a high degree of personalization. You can choose everything from the background and pose to the size and framing options. This level of customization allows for a truly unique piece of art that stands out and holds special significance, whether kept for personal enjoyment or given as a gift.

What are the Disadvantages of Watercolor Pet Portraits?

One of the primary disadvantages of watercolor pet portraits is their susceptibility to damage from environmental factors. The delicate nature of watercolor pigments means they can fade over time when exposed to direct sunlight. Additionally, these portraits are vulnerable to moisture, which can cause the paper to warp or the colors to bleed, potentially ruining the artwork.

Another drawback is the need for careful handling and framing. Unlike other mediums, watercolor paintings require UV-protective glass and acid-free mounting to preserve their quality. This adds an extra step and cost to the process. This makes them slightly more high-maintenance compared to other types of pet portraits. Without proper framing and care, the portrait may deteriorate faster than artworks created with more robust materials.

Lastly, achieving the desired level of detail in a custom pet watercolor can be challenging due to the fluidity and unpredictability of the medium. While skilled artists can create stunning and accurate representations, the nature of watercolor means that fine details can sometimes be difficult to achieve, especially compared to oil or acrylic paintings. This might be a consideration for those seeking an extremely detailed and precise portrait of their pet.
