Pet Portrait Commissions
Commission a unique, timeless portrait of your beloved pet or animal of your choice, a perfect gift for animal lovers and pet parents. Using only archival quality materials and fine attention to detail, I will capture the essence and character of any subject to create a stunning lifelike portrait.
​
All art materials used to create the portrait are vegan and cruelty free.
Booking a commissioned pet portrait:
1. Please contact me via email at info@saramcknightart.com or via Instagram/Facebook with the photograph you would like the portrait to be based on.
2. If possible, send multiple images as this will allow me to better understand your pet's character. Please try to send high resolution photos taken in natural light. I may be able to work with poorer quality images if it is the only option, but clear, crisp photos allow me to see the finer details.
3. Once we have discussed the artwork and have agreed on the images to be used, a 30% deposit will be required before the work begins. If you decide you want to use a different reference photo please let me know as soon as possible, within 24hrs of payment.
