High-quality photos with soft, neutral lighting work best. The light shouldn’t be too bright or too dark—I need to see the full range of values to paint an accurate portrait.
Please also avoid scaling down the files. Large files are completely fine—send the original if possible.

For the best result, try to choose photos taken at your pet’s eye level. Shots taken from above tend to distort proportions and usually lead to a less natural likeness.

Yes. If you don’t have many photos, please send whatever you have and I’ll honestly tell you what is possible.

Absolutely. If you want more than one pet in the same painting—but they won’t stay still together—just send separate photos.

For smaller formats (usually one pet), I work on Gessobord panels from 8×10” (20×25 cm) up to 16×20” (40×50 cm).
For larger pieces, I work on linen canvas, from 50×50 cm (19.5×19.5”) up to 100×100 cm (39×39”).
