Ordering your unique and special customised pet portrait is simple and starts with good clear digital photographs of your beloved pet. These will form the basis of the portrait.
Then tell us your preferred art media, the portrait’s size, composition, the background colour or setting, and whether or not to have the portrait framed.
We can help with these and will guide you, particularly if you have a budget in mind as these decisions impact the final cost – please refer to our price guide where various options are described.
Start now by sending us your favourite reference photos (enquiry@harwellstudio.co.uk) and your thoughts on what you would like us to do, and we’ll get back to you with our advice and a preliminary commissioning agreement that will include a price and a delivery date.
When you’re ready, just place your order.
Important things to think about.
- Composition
- The composition of portrait artwork usually takes the form of a head or a full body image. Portraits of multiple pets within the same artwork are also popular. We’re happy to provide for you what you want – just let us know.
- Media
- Portraits can be produced using a variety of media: Soft Pastel, Charcoal, Graphite, or Acrylic Ink.
- Size
- We offer portraits in a small number of standard sizes. These range from approximately A3 to A5 or 12 x 16 inches (300 x 420 mm) to 6 x 8 inches (150 x 210 mm).
- Background
- We offer two standard types of background. Either plain in a single complementary colour chosen by us or by you, or a blurry out of focus background or a realistic background based on a reference photo. Just let us know your preference.
- Framing
- There are many possible frame styles and finishes to choose from. To keep things simple without compromising quality and appearance, we offer a simple gallery style frame with a mount that complements the portrait. As standard the frame colour is black but other colours are available. Just let us know your preference. If a frame is not needed we’ll deliver the portrait to you in a strong protective sleeve.
Please see the price guide for more information on the options available.
