Significance of a Pet Portrait

A pet portrait from a photo is not just a gift that you are going to get for yourself or give it to a friend who is a pet lover or pet parent!

It is an emotion!

It is a token of love and appreciation for your pet for accompanying you through the thicks and thins of your life.

It is guaranteed that your pet will not understand the importance of a portrait but rather let’s call it a way of keeping them close to your heart forever!

PS:- They will come running to you when they see you unboxing a portrait, for sure!

Any of your friends who are either a pet parent or a pet lover, their phone will be filled with the photos of their pets!

But, often the photos tend to get piled down when the new photos get added in the gallery.

So, doesn’t it sound like a good idea to get the photos converted into a custom pet portrait?

Once your friends take a step ahead and get a pet portrait from photos made, they will only thank you and appreciate your thoughtfulness.

The Best Gift for Pet Lovers? 

When anyone asks me, why do I love pets?

I tell them that even though there are more than 100 reasons to love them, some of them are:

They add spice and twist to life; they are the best emotional support, one of the best cuddle partners (not me trying to console myself), but yes, they are indeed!

And many more reasons..

But when they leave, it hurts like hell, and it leaves a void that remains unfilled for a long period of time.

So, what is the ultimate way to cherish them and their memories forever?

Well, a pet portrait from a photo is a simple and one of the most effective ways to preserve your critter’s memories!

A custom people pet watercolor painting is one of the best gifts for a pet lover or a pet parent.

If you know anyone who is head-over-heels for a pet then giving them a pet portrait can be the best gift.

PS: This can also make them cry the tears of joy!

Just like one of our pet-parent Megan couldn’t control her tears when she received the painting of her pet.

Mediums of Pet Portraits

There once was a time when I used to think that Portraits were only made up from oil paints!

I am sure many of you must be thinking the same!

Well, for many platforms the only medium they offer is oil, but with PortraitFlip, you not only get our best-selling oil medium but also 5 other options to choose from!

So, you can select any medium in which you want your custom pet portrait from a photo to be made.

Check the mediums below:

1. Oil Pet Portrait:

This is our best-selling and most widely requested portrait medium!

Yes, oil medium portraits are highly recommended when you want to get custom oil pet paintings from photos.

To your surprise, most of the ancient and famous paintings of history are made from oil paint. 

Oil pet portraits are preferred because they give the painting a vibrant and a realistic touch to your pooch’s painting.

Element of Fun: If your pooch is funny, always hyper and a jolly baby then go ahead with an oil pet portrait. 

2. Acrylic Pet Portrait: 

Acrylic pet portraits fall between the category of oil and watercolors.

They have a very quick dry-time and give the painting a rough texture.

To your surprise it gets pretty challenging to differentiate between oil and acrylic mediums. 

If you want a painting that speaks for itself and comes out as a bold and actionable one!

Then you should definitely get an acrylic pet portrait for your pooch!

Element of Fun: If your pet is a fan of Tony Bennett then you should get a custom acrylic pet portrait for your little buddy. 

3. Watercolor Pet Portrait: 

Watercolor pet portraits are for the ones who love to take risks.

If you want to get an easy and convenient portrait then you should opt for a watercolor custom portrait for your pet.

Given the fact that watercolor portraits look soft and flowy and adds a grace to your portrait!

Element of Fun: Order a watercolor portrait for your pupper if he loves to sit and read his paw-o-pedia!

4. Pencil Pet sketch

If you are someone who gets fascinated by the black and white effects and when you see the shades of black and white you get happy!

Many people find pencil sketches boring, well, they haven’t been to a gallery or have they?

I will suggest you opt for a pencil sketch if you want to keep it elegant, simple and classy!

Element of Fun: If your pet is a fan of the era of the 90’s then get a pencil sketch for the old-school pooch!

5. Color Pencil Pet Sketch

If you want to keep everything as simple and elegant as that in a pencil sketch, but you want to add a pop of colors to it, then a color pencil sketch will be a fine choice.

The way a color pencil sketch is made is it has defined strokes and vibrant shades of colors.

Element of Fun: If you can’t predict your pet’s mood then get a color pencil sketch for them. 

6. Charcoal Pet Portrait

For all the monochrome lovers in the house! Make some noise as we present the last yet the classiest medium!

“Charcoal”!

The quality of portraits we have in-house for you might confuse you if they are actually hand-painted or not.

But let me tell you, every pet portrait from a photo is hand-painted by our artists!

The texture, the consistency and the smudges of charcoal are all tempting, so get one for your pooch now!

Element of Fun: If you critter loves to sport the fashionista-walk then you should get a charcoal pet portrait!

Now that I have briefed you about the mediums of portraits we offer, now it’s your call to decide and proceed to order one now!

You can also look for pet pastel portraits, which is as cool as above mediums.

Well, staying out of the debate, what you can do for your pet Feline is you can get a custom cat portrait made for them and you can decorate it in your living room.

3. Horse Portraits for the Independent Soul

Horse as a pet?? Yes, why not?
