How to Book your Pet Portrait Commission

Watercolour and Gouache Portraits are a wonderful way to celebrate the life of our pets. Each one is hand painted from your photo by professional UK pet artist Josie Grimes, giving care and attention to each detail. Using quality materials with each pet portrait for you to enjoy your own unique artwork for many years to come.

 

Below, you'll find the step-by-step process for commissioning your own custom pet portrait.

If you are looking to commission a wildlife portrait instead, please reach out and we can discuss.

Step 1: Sizes & Prices

Firstly, you will need to email me photos of your pet to jessbuckett2@gmail.com I will then choose the best photo for the portrait. Select a painting size.

Step 2: Reference Photo

Next, you'll need a high-quality photograph of your pet. It's important that the photos you select capture your pet's character and provide clear visibility of their eyes and other features. In general, photos taken at your pet's eye level in natural light (outside or by a window) tend to work best. I would usually encourage you to send multiple photos so I can get a good sense of your pet and their features. This also allows us to select the most suitable picture together if you are unsure.

This step is crucial in the process—the clearer the photo, the better the final portrait will be!

Below are some good examples of reference photos:
