Retratoanimal - Immortalize your pet in an oil painting or watercolor...

Painting from photos

If you are like me, I am sure you will have no lack of pictures of your pet to send me. The ideal would be if you already have a picture with a beautiful pose of your pet to use as a basis for the painting. A picture of your pet in a position how you would like him or her to be portrayed in the painting. It can be a close up, ideally slightly inclined to one side or a full body picture with again the animal not directly looking straight into the camera but with its head turned away to either side.

If it is possible I would like also to receive some close-ups of the eyes and additional pictures of the face. As it is difficult to visualize all the details of the face of the animal with a single picture the more picture you send, the better the result will be.

The ideal picture for the painting should be clear, sharp and must show the face and eyes of your pet. Avoid pictures where your pet looks directly into the camera because in the painting this tends to look rather unnatural. The pictures can be send by mail or email.
