Heather Mitchell Fine Art Pet Portraits - Nationwide
As an award-winning artist, as well as a dog-mom, I enjoy creating realistic original art portraits of your treasured pets. I work from your photos for reference, and I use pastel pencil or acrylic paint to render lifelike pet portraits of dogs, cats, or horses.
First, I like to see your photos, and hear about what kind of portrait you envision. Together, we decide on the details, which I write up to assure we are on the same page. Then I produce a digital mockup of how the artwork would look. Once we are in agreement, I ask for a deposit to begin the work. Portraits can take 2-6 weeks. Once the artwork is complete and you approve it, the final payment is due. I package your portrait securely, and send it to you, insured, with a Certificate of Authenticity.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Taking good photos of pets can be a challenge, but it can also be a lot of fun for you and your pet. Start with good lighting. Don't let the phone or camera hide your eyes from your pet. Step back and zoom in, so you don't get distortion from being too close. And don't forget the treats! Take lots of photos and make happy memories.
