The Artistic Process
 
From Photo to Painting. Creating a custom portrait begins with a photograph. You can send me your favorite picture of the  pet, or a photo of you and your pet together. Besides the painting process itself, the source photograph is perhaps the most important element that I use. Dog paintings photos should have good definition and detail, good color and good lighting. Natural lighting is the best, and photos taken on a cloudy day are far better than those taken on a sunny day, especially for dark pets. Inside, photographs of your pet next to a window or a door are usually good. Avoid using a flash. Try to photograph your pet at eye level and avoid getting too close, it'll make the nose or other features large and distorted.​​
