Tips For Choosing A Dog Portrait Artist

By Connie Sears


So many families keep pets, mainly dogs with which they share their houses to enable them brighten their lives. Nowadays, there is a new trend whereby such families hire a dog portrait artist to make a painting of their adored pet. Any person who feels that their pet is as loved as any family member would want a portrait that captures the dogs unique personality. Should the dog die, the painting would help the family overcome the grief through preserving the special bond they had.

The painting of a dog sketch is a specialized skill that only certain artists specifically develop. Examining their portfolio is the best way to go in choosing pet sketch artists. This will help determine if their style is what the dog owner wants for their picture. One should also find out if satisfied customers have left positive reviews on their website.

Dog portraits come in different mediums, each of them producing a different result. Some artists prefer working with oil paints while others may use charcoal, acrylics or watercolors. The dog owner should discuss their preference with the painter to find out if they can accommodate them. They should also determine the desired canvas size and whether it should be framed, since this has a great deal to do with the projects outcome. A most vital thing is establishing good communication with the painter to make the pet owners preferences be clear.

Once the painter has been chosen, the best sketch starts with a sharp clear photograph that showcases the pets personality. The owner then discuses the scheduled completion date and price of the project. The artist should make plans to keep the owner updated on the portrait progress, while allowing the owner to suggest any changes that may have to be made.

The cost of the painting project will depend on its specifics. The price can also be affected by the number of subjects and size of the portrait. The materials used for painting can also contribute to making a difference. How popular the sketch painter is as well as his experience are other factors likely to affect the rate he charges.

Prior to finalizing the transaction, the dog owner should understand the arrangements set aside for payment. He or she may be required to part with a deposit before officially becoming a client. In addition, they should be prepared to wait for some time, particularly if the artist has many customers. The owner should find out the length of time it will take to finish the painting, and also determine if the artist can arrange for it to be framed.

It is natural for the sketch painter to ask for photographs of the pet to use during the project. The dog owner can provide photographs of the most memorable moments they have had with the pet. In addition, some cool images can be used as background, such as a local scenery or home.

Choosing the right dog portrait artist to immortalize the loyalty and love of a devoted dog is a decision the owner will never forget. Therefore, one should take time to go for only the best.
