As a dog mom myself, I know how exciting it is to find any product with your pet’s breed on it. Boston terrier pillows? Yes. Pyjamas? Obviously. But here’s how to get the ultimate gift: a painting of your actual pet. Maybe it’s their signature head tilt or the black spot on their ear; their “ready for a walk” face or thick winter coat. Whatever it is that makes your pet unique, let’s capture their essence in watercolour.

Pet Portrait Photo Guidelines:
1. Choose or take a photo that's on your pet’s eye level (Get down on all fours with your pet to take the photo and please do not take the photo from above)
2. Choose or take a photo that's face forward or profile view (side) and includes ears and neck.
3. Choose a photo with natural light, shadows and lots of clarity. Make sure the light source (like a window) is in front of your pet and not behind them
4. Please make sure your image is high quality (smartphone images are great! I just won't be able to work from screenshots or pixelated images. Can you zoom in and see the finer details? Can you see their eye colour, nose and ears clearly?)
