Finding The Greatest Dog Portrait Artists

By Mattie MacDonald


Some people owns dogs as pets, while other people owns dogs that are more than just a pet, they are family. A dog owner that just sees his dog as his pet will probably not be interested in finding dog portrait artists. The dog owners that have dogs they treat like family will probably want to find the very best artist out there to have their beloved dogs picture painted so they can hang it for everyone to see.

It's really not much different than having your children's portraits done. You want to find the best for your children because you want it to look great when it's done. It is the same thing with your dog. You want an artist that is going to do a fantastic job so you try to find the best.

You may think that their are not very many to choose from but you would be wrong. There are a lot of artist that do dog portraits. Some of them prefer to have you bring the dog in to have the portrait done, others prefer to come to your home, and others prefer to do the painting from a picture.

If you find an artist that you want to use but he or she lives half way around the world the only way to get them to do a painting by them is to hire them and send them a picture of your dog. Unless you and your dog are going to get on a plane and fly half way around the world for a portrait. Some people would probably do just that but you can get a great painting from a photograph too.

It would be almost impossible to get your dog to sit still long enough to have their painting done. That is why having it done from a photo is so much easier on everyone, you, your dog and the artist. It is difficult for an adult to sit still while getting a painting done because it take a while to do one.

It takes quite a bit of time for an artist to paint a portrait. They can't be done in just a few short minutes or even half an hour. So knowing that would you rather have your dogs picture painted using a photograph or would you rather try to get your dog to stay still for that long?

Not everyone that loves their dogs get a painting done of them even if they do consider them family. Most people just have picture they have taken themselves put up all around their home. Some people have professionals take pictures of their family and they have their dogs include in the family photo. Of course it doesn't mean your dog isn't loved just because you don't getting a professional painting of them.

If you do choose to get one done though, you want to make sure you research the artist that do portraits of dogs before choosing one. You don't want to get yours back and it look like any other dog of that breed. For example if you have a boxer you don't want the painting to look like just any old boxer.
