Frequently asked questions

What is the best medium for pet portraits?

While colored pencils offer high levels of detail, the 'best' medium is subjective and depends on your aesthetic preferences. Oil paintings offer depth and texture, watercolors bring a light, ethereal quality, and charcoal can create dramatic contrasts. It's all about what speaks to you and best represents your pet's personality.

What background colors for pet portraits?

Choosing a background color can greatly influence the focus and mood of the portrait. Lighter colors like pale blue or cream can highlight darker pets, while darker backgrounds can make lighter fur colors pop. Additionally, the color can be selected to match your pet's eyes or complement your home decor. Choose a color that enhances the natural beauty of your pet and suits your stylistic preferences.

How long does a pet portrait take?

The duration for a pet portrait varies based on the artist's technique, the medium used, and the intricacy of the piece. Generally, a pet portrait can take anywhere from a few hours for a simple sketch to several weeks for a detailed oil painting. However, at Whataportrait, we pride ourselves on being able to deliver your pet portrait in as little as 2 weeks, ensuring both quality and timely delivery.

Where to get a portrait painted?

There are many places to get a portrait painted, from local art galleries and art schools to independent artists offering their services. In the digital age, online platforms have emerged as a convenient way to connect customers with talented portrait artists worldwide. Among these platforms, Whataportrait.com stands out as one of the market leaders in delivering quality portraits. Always review an artist's portfolio and customer reviews to ensure the quality and style match your vision.

How much does a pet portrait cost?

It all depends on the artist, the size of the drawing, and the level of detail involved. However, you can generally expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $500 for a high-quality pet portrait. At Whataportrait, our pet portraits start from just $89 onwards for a pencil or charcoal sketch, and this includes free shipping, offering both affordability and quality.

Are pet portraits worth it?

Pet portraits provide long-lasting memories. While our furry friends may sense the effort and love you've put into capturing their likeness, they might not fully appreciate the gesture since they don't understand it in human terms. But the real value lies in the memories they invoke for us. Every time you glance at that portrait, it's a reflection of the bond, the moments shared, and the unconditional love. So, what memories do we refer to? It's all in the process of cherishing and commemorating the love we have for our pets.
