Send us one photo. Our studio artists in Dafen hand-paint it as a museum-grade oil portrait on canvas — every whisker, every eye-shine, done with a real brush. When the portrait is finished, we photograph it and send it to you for preview before shipping.
Left is the photo the customer sent us on WhatsApp. Right is the finished oil painting they received. These are unretouched photos of real orders — same pets, same souls, new medium.

A quiet, reserved cat painted into a dreamlike night field. The customer ordered a second one for her mother.
Every slider above is a different real order — drag left and right to compare.
For customers who want likeness first: careful proportions, controlled edges, layered colour and selective detail. This is the direction for realistic dogs, cats, horses and other companion animals — more restrained than a cartoon treatment, more detailed than a decorative style.
Realistic horse portrait — broad value shapes first, then layered colour and selective highlights.
Detail study — the eye is built with small changes in value, colour temperature and reflected light.
We spend more time on reference selection, proportion, fur direction, eyes and natural edges. The finish is quoted according to size, number of pets, background complexity and the level of detail requested.

One clear, well-lit photo where your pet's eyes are visible and sharp. Phone photos are perfectly fine — we've painted from thousands of them. If you have several favorites, send them all and we'll pick the best composition together.
Yes — that's a very common order. Send one photo per pet and tell us roughly where each should sit. We'll compose them onto one canvas so they look like they were photographed together.
Of course, and we treat these orders with extra care. Old photos, slightly blurry photos — send what you have. We'll tell you honestly what will work before you pay anything.
When your portrait is finished, we photograph it and send it to you for preview — anything that needs adjusting, we adjust. Every portrait is purely hand-painted: not hand-painted, refund. See our order terms for the details.
