Photos of your pet are great, but why not turn some of those adorable pics into a fun pet portrait painting?<\/p>\n<p>Rather than being stuck on a phone, paintings can be hung on a wall to showcase your perfect pet to everyone. They\u2019re also so much more whimsical, fun, and personal than a digital photo in a frame. If you\u2019re not so confident in your painting ability, we offer amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/pet-portraits\">pet portrait services<\/a> that can do it for you!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Types of Pet Portraits<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about the many different kinds of pet portraits you can get that will perfectly show off your furry best friend.<\/p>\n<h3>Something Silly<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/products\/gallery\/custphotoreal\/57f6701a87456ff2668b458a?order=1&amp;from_gallery=products%2Fgallery%2Fcustphotoreal%3Ftags%3Dpet-portraits\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.instapainting.com\/58180c5b87456f602d8b4567.jpg\" alt=\"Renaissance painting of a man and woman posin with their 3 cats\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFor those pets (or humans) with wilder personalities, a traditional watercolor painting may not fully capture their character. Why not try something more unique, like a Dutch Golden Age Portrait? Nothing screams \u2018one of a kind\u2019 like a painted photo of you dressed in old-timey clothing posed with your precious pet.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine having a painting like this hung up in your living room for everyone to see &#8212; it would certainly tell a story! It\u2019s unlikely that anyone else would have a painting quite like yours.<\/p>\n<h3>Abstract Animal<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.instapainting.com\/5c05d38c87456f38468b456b.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.instapainting.com\/5c05d38c87456f38468b456b.jpg\" alt=\"Abstract pet portrait of a french bulldog\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some pet photos just need a little more color added to them to really make them pop. That\u2019s where abstract paintings come in. This type of art is really fun to request because it gives the artists a lot of freedom to play with different colors, making your painting a bit of a surprise for you.<\/p>\n<p>Abstract paintings are great if the background of your reference photo isn\u2019t that exciting (like a grey couch or white carpet.) This type of pet portrait will brighten up any dull room with the colors and, of course, your pet\u2019s personality.<\/p>\n<h3>Collage of Cuties<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/products\/gallery\/custmixedmedia\/5bfb312087456fcd338b457e?order=1&amp;from_gallery=pet-portraits\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.instapainting.com\/5bff6e9e87456f9f1b8b4570.jpg\" alt=\"a painted portrait of 3 dogs wearing sweaters\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you have more than one pet (you can never have too many, right?) and you\u2019d like to showcase all of them in one painting &#8212; this is the perfect opportunity to get a pet portrait collage!<\/p>\n<p>A collage is a great option for people that may not have as much wall space but want a painting of each of their pets. It\u2019s also a great option for those pets that just don\u2019t photograph well together. Let\u2019s face it, not every dog and cat will get along, so trying to force them into a photo is like herding cats\u2026literally. With a pet portrait collage, you\u2019ll be able to have each of your pets in one place!<\/p>\n<h3>Clutter Be Gone!<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.instapainting.com\/5bfdfd9c87456fab198b4576_o.jpg?w=500\" alt=\"2 puppies hanging over a couch with clutter in background\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/products\/gallery\/custmixedmedia\/5bfdfed087456fb31c8b456c?order=1&amp;from_gallery=pet-portraits\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.instapainting.com\/5c03863987456f7d6f8b4582.jpg\" alt=\"Painting of 2 puppies hanging over the couch with a black background\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When your pet is in one of those perfect and cozy positions, you have to snap a photo quickly before they move or you\u2019ll miss it! But, snapping a quick photo doesn\u2019t always allow you to position the camera for the best angle. While your pet is likely being the cutest thing in the entire world, the clutter in the background doesn\u2019t help to show off just how adorable they are; it just distracts from the main event (your pet). Luckily with Instapainting, you can send any pet photo and give specific instructions to the artists of what you\u2019d like to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/gallery\/change-things\">change<\/a> in the photo.<\/p>\n<p>You can even suggest a certain background for your painting, too! If your pet is in a field of grass, but you\u2019d prefer them to be portrayed in a field of flowers, the artists at Instapainting can work their magic. All you have to do is ask or send in a photo of the background you\u2019d like (think outside of the box, you could even have a funky abstract background!)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.instapainting.com\/580d351c87456f2f748b456f_o.jpg?w=500\" alt=\"Yellow labrador retriever sitting in the grass\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/pet-portraits\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.instapainting.com\/581c58fc87456fab198b4574_w0.jpg\" alt=\"Painted photo of a yellow labrador retriever sitting in a field of flowers\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Perfect Pet Portrait<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019ve got a dog, cat, hamster, horse, or bird, a painted or drawn pet portrait is a wonderful way to show them off to all of your friends. They also make great gifts for people who have recently lost their pet, a painting is a lovely way to remember them.<\/p>\n<p>With Instapainting, it\u2019s simple! All you have to do is:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select the type of art you want (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/products\/custwatercolor\">watercolor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/products\/custphotoreal\">oil painting<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instapainting.com\/products\/custpencil\">drawing<\/a>, etc)<\/li>\n<li>Upload a photo of your pet<\/li>\n<li>Wait for us to match you to an artist<\/li>\n<li>They work their artistic magic<\/li>\n<li>They ship the artwork to you<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s as easy as that!
