Golden light, gum trees and dry grass sit behind your pet in this impressionist pet portrait, and loose brushwork runs across the whole scene. The landscape sets the tone, and your pet sits inside it.

Shoot in good daylight without flash, hold the camera at your pet's eye level, keep the whole head in frame and get close enough that the eyes are clear. One pet per photo, and a phone shot is fine. Our studio examples show impressionist dog portraits of a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, a red Australian Shepherd and a cocker spaniel, plus a tabby and white cat, a grey shorthair and a chestnut horse.

You choose the frame: oak look, black or white. On a framed print the white mount gives the gallery border inside the frame, and with no mount the portrait fills it. Canvas comes with no frame, in a float frame or in a classic frame. Sizes are A4 (21 x 29.7 cm), square (30 x 30 cm), A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) and A2 (42 x 59.4 cm).

Add one photo and your pet appears in this style in under a minute, free and watermarked, before you pay. The preview opens on a close-up, and On the wall shows the portrait in a room. Adding your pet's name is free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which frame colour suits the bush impressionist look?

You can choose oak look, black or white for the frame before you order.

Framed prints take a white mount for a gallery border, and with no mount the picture runs to the frame edge.

Does the bush impressionist style work for cats and horses?

Yes. Examples from our studio show the same bush impressionist treatment on a tabby and white cat, a grey shorthair and a chestnut horse, as well as on four dogs.

What does a bush impressionist portrait look like up close?

Loose brushwork gives the portrait its Australian impressionist look, and the preview opens on a close-up before you pay so you can judge the detail. The framed print uses 200gsm matte art paper behind a shatterproof acrylic front, in a 20 mm timber frame.

The watermark you see in the preview is not on the printed portrait.

Can one portrait have two pets, or me with my pet?

One portrait holds up to three pets, or you with your pet, one pet with one or two people, or two pets with one person. Add one photo per pet and per person, and a selfie is fine. With a person in the portrait, one photo of everyone together also works, and you confirm you hold the rights to the photos. Separate photos come out side by side, close together, nobody hugging or holding. No extra cost. A few styles stop at two pets, shown on the style page.

What changes can I ask for on my portrait?

Each style page has an optional Special requests box above Add to cart. Our design team reads your note and makes the change before your proof, included in the price. People ask for the name smaller or larger, the name centred or moved up or down, wider or tighter letter spacing, two names over two lines, a background colour outside the swatches, a collar, lead or harness left out, a stray object behind the pet tidied away, the crop adjusted for more room above the ears, or an eye colour or coat marking corrected.

What if it does not look like my pet?

You are the judge, first in the free preview before you pay. If it is not right, try another photo or another style at no cost. Write what you would like adjusted in the Special requests box. After you order, a designer reviews the portrait to make sure it will print well, then you receive a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if you want it refined at the proof, we refine it at no cost.
