Commission a dog pet portrait online at Mini Gallery

Affordable original paintings and drawings of your dog or puppy are available to commission online from one of a number of contemporary artists specialising in canine portraiture.

Dog portrait artists can create a beautiful original painting or drawing of your pampered pet in your chosen media including watercolour, pastel, pencil, charcoal, oil, acrylic or pen and ink.

A dog portrait artist will usually request at least one nice clear photograph of your pet to work from.

The amount of time a dog portrait takes to complete and the cost will depend on the size and media involved as well as the artist's current commitments. When you commission an artist you may have special requests, you may want to have two dogs rather than one or a dog and her puppies for example. If you have more than one pet the artist may be able to combine the two in a double commission. The cost is arranged in advance and an initial deposit is usually requested before work commences on the commission with the balance payable upon completion.

When you arrange to buy a dog portrait you may decide that you would prefer to have it supplied unframed to enable you to choose your own frame or the artist may supply it framed. Alternatively some dog portrait artists work on modern frameless surfaces like box canvas or wood panel so that the portrait can hang directly on the wall without need for a frame.

The artworks on these pages show examples of commissioned dog pet portraits which have previously been undertaken. There are pet portrait artists who have created portraits of dogs of all breeds including collies, spaniels, terriers, Alsatians and labradors.
