Examples from our studio
A pet that lives for the yard rather than the lounge room gets a costume in a drover pet portrait: an oil-painting look that sets your companion in the 1890s, ochre dusk behind. It suits a working breed, a farm dog, or the one that scratches at the door. As a gift it lands with someone on the land, and it hangs well in a farmhouse kitchen or a shed office.
An oak look frame is suggested, and you can swap the colour. On a framed print the white mount adds a border inside the frame. For the photo, use daylight with no flash, hold the camera level with your pet's eyes, have them face you, and keep the full head in, close enough that the eyes read clearly. A phone shot works.
Add one photo and your pet shows up in this look in under a minute, before you pay. The preview opens on the whole portrait in close-up, with an On the wall view, watermarked where the print is not. Your pet's name goes on free, with an optional small second line. A designer checks every portrait before it prints.
How it works
1. Pick a style
27 styles, from royal oil to fine line.
2. Add one photo
See your pet in that style in under a minute, free. Try other styles with the same photo.
3. Frame it
Pick a frame, size and name.
4. Proof, then print
A designer reviews your portrait for print quality, you approve a proof before anything goes to press, and it is printed in Australia.
Does the hat cover my pet's eyes or ears?
No. The wide brown felt hat rests tipped back, so your pet's ears stay visible and the eyes are never covered. The red paisley neckerchief, cream waistcoat and brown oilskin coat sit below it.
Which pets suit a drover dog portrait?
A working breed carries it best, and so does a farm dog, or the pet who would always choose the yard over the lounge room. It also makes a gift for anyone who has spent their life on the land or grew up in the country.
Which frame colour works with the Bush Drover look?
The style page already selects an oak look frame for you, and you can change it to black or white on a framed print. Canvas comes in oak look, black or white. The white mount is only for framed prints: with no mount the picture runs to the edge of the frame.
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.
