1. Getting to Know You and Your Pet: Creating a Personalised Pet Portrait

When you commission a pet portrait from me, the first step is getting to know you and your beloved cat. We’ll have a conversation where you can share details about your cat’s personality, their favourite activities, and any specific characteristics you want to highlight in the artwork. This helps me understand your vision and create a truly personalised piece that reflects your cat’s unique qualities.

2. Sending the Perfect Picture: Capturing Your Cat’s Essence

To create an accurate and detailed pet portrait, I ask for a clear picture of your cat. This allows me to capture their likeness and express their individuality through my artwork. Make sure to provide a high-resolution image that showcases your cat’s features and personality. If you have multiple cats, you can send pictures of each of them, and I can create individual portraits or include them together in one composition.

Once I receive the pictures, I begin working on the initial sketches and proofs. Within about a week, I’ll share these with you, giving you the opportunity to provide feedback and make any necessary adjustments. This collaborative process ensures that the final pet portrait truly captures your vision and exceeds your expectations.

4. Choosing the Perfect Format: Canvas or Print?

After finalising the details and receiving your approval, we move on to the printing stage. You have the option to choose between a canvas or a print for your pet portrait. Canvases provide a more traditional and artistic feel, while prints offer versatility in terms of framing options. If you opt for a canvas, it’s helpful to know the sizing you prefer beforehand, as it affects the file size and ensures the best quality print.

5. Bringing Your Cat Drawings Home: A Cherished Piece of Art

Once your pet portrait is printed and ready, it’s time to bring it home and proudly display it as a cherished piece of art. Whether you choose to hang it in your living room, bedroom, or even create a dedicated gallery wall for your pet portraits, you can be sure that your cat’s unique personality will shine through, adding a touch of joy and love to your home decor.

Through the process of getting to know your cat, sending the perfect picture, collaborating on proofs, and choosing the right format, we can create a beautiful and colourful pet portrait that captures the essence of your furry friend.
