How to Commission a Portrait
1) Contact the artist and provide them with your BigThanks Certificate number. Provide them with your portrait size as listed on your certificate, your contact details and a little information about your pet. When they get back to you, email them at least 2 photos (preferably more) of your pet (or pets). Your photos should be clear, not too far away and with good face detail. You can email high resolution photographs at 300dpi or post your photos which they will scan and return to you. Remember, the clearer the photographs, the better your portrait will be.
2) The artist will confirm your commission by email. If you choose to proceed, we discuss your pet and the portrait in detail, (pet's name, breed and age, personality traits, colours and distinguishing features, favourite toys etc.) We discuss the format, style and mood of your painting, the canvas style you prefer (if you wish to frame your portrait). It takes a little patience on your part as an oil portrait can take up to 12 weeks to complete.
These portraits are painted on gallery style canvas, unless requested otherwise — a look that’s contemporary, clean and simple. If you require framing please discuss this with the artist during your initial contact.
