How To Choose The Right Artist To Paint Custom Pet Paintings St Louis

By Michael Smith


There are many ways that people choose to show their love for their pets. Custom pet paintings St Louis are one of those ways. These paintings depict people's pets and are often created using a photograph or other image of a dog or a cat. Since they can be quite expensive, here are things that you can do to ensure you are getting the pet portrait that you want.

There are many different types of painting out there. Just because someone may be good at painting landscapes does not mean that they are good at portraits. If you want to make sure you are dealing with a painter who is good at portraits you should look at their portfolio. That way you can see what they have created in the past and will be able to tell if it is right for your needs.

If you have not paid much attention to the art world before you may be amazed at the different choices that are available. There are several different types of paint that may be used and there are also different styles of painting. Not every artist will be able to work with every type of paint and most have a preferred style they are best at. Talking to the individual artists will help you narrow down your options.

Most artists will want to work from a photograph rather than trying to work with a live animal model. A live animal will likely move too much for the artist to be able to work with. If you need to provide a photograph you should ask the artist what they need in terms of size and clarity. A blurry picture or a picture that is too small will usually result in a bad painting that you will likely not be happy with.

Be prepared for your painting to take time to complete. The artist will need to create a sketch using your photograph and then begin to add paint to the paper or canvas. Some types of paint take a long time to dry so the creation process may take weeks or even months.

You may be surprised at how much information a St Louis MO artist may ask you for prior to beginning work. They may ask how realistic you want the piece to be and also ask how detailed and how large you want the piece to be. If you are willing to communicate with the artist and are clear with what you are looking for you may be happier with the end product that you receive.

You may wonder where to find different artists to speak with about your painting. A good place to start is the internet as it will often make it possible to view an artist's portfolio before you contact them. Some may also have pricing details on their sites as well although not all artists will do this.

While you may want to get started on having your pet immortalized it may not be a good idea to simply go with the first artist you find. Make sure you are working with a professional who has experience and the skill to accurately recreate your prized pet in as much detail as you are looking for.
