How to order your own pet portrait
Request your commission
Fill in the contact form with all the photos you’d like me to consider. I’ll get in touch to discuss details, confirm the best photo for the painting, the price, and the expected timeframe. Need help picking the right photo? Check the guide here
Once we agree, a non-refundable deposit of €40 secures your spot on the waiting list.
Painting process
After approval, a protective varnish is applied. The full process usually takes 5–6 weeks, including painting, drying, and varnishing.
Final payment & shipping
Pricing and Sizes
For customers outside the EU (including the UK), shipments may include customs fees or import taxes, regardless of order value.
These costs are handled by the buyer according to local regulations, so please keep this in mind when placing your order.
Background options
I usually choose the background colours based on the photo and its original background, but feel free to let me know if you have a preference. You can choose between two background styles:
Classic background: A fully painted background that fills the entire canvas or board, giving the portrait a timeless and complete look.
Expressive background: A partially painted background, leaving some areas open for a lighter, more expressive feel. (This background can be fully filled in later if you wish.)
Customization options
Small adjustments can be included in your commission at no extra cost, as long as they are visible in the reference photo. Let me know in the commission form if you’d like any of these applied.
Appearance adjustments
Remove small scratches, wounds, or marks, and make eyes more visible if fur covers them.
Objects & accessories
Remove collars, harnesses, or objects that cover your pet, such as toys, pillows, or blankets. Cozy items can also be kept if you’d like them included.
Special requests
Have something specific in mind? Many adjustments are possible. If something involves extra work or costs, I’ll always discuss this with you first.
