If you love your pet, you will definitely go the extra mile to make the creature happy. You can make your pet happy by providing nourishing food and excellent living quarters for these special creatures. You can even go the extra mile and commission a great artist to paint a portrait of your special pet. Finding the right professional to do this for you is not too difficult. Just Google “Illustrate my pet” and you will find the right artists. Below are some things you should know about artists who create pet portraits.
Some Artists Speak “Pet Language”
Getting your pet to just sit down and pose for a portrait is not easy. The creature you are painting does not speak your language so there is an obvious communication gap here. However, you should find an artist with the uncanny ability to communicate with your pet. Find an artist who can “speak the language of your pet” and this expert will do the magic.
Find an Innovative Artist
The best artist for you is the one who is creative and innovative. This is because illustrating your pet takes time and lots of effort. If your artist starts with a landscape design, unforeseen circumstances might force this expert to switch to a portrait design. You need an expert with the ability to be flexible and innovative. Find this professional and you will get an excellent illustration.
Proper Use of Color and Lighting
Pet portraits requires creative use of color and lighting. You want a first class image that will make you happy so it pays to contract the job to an artist with extensive experience in this business. If your expert is painting the portrait on a bright day, the light of the sun might be enough to do a great job. However, if your artist is working on a cloudy day, it makes sense to use artificial lighting methods. In addition, the ability to use contrast and color harmony is vital. You do not want the portrait of your dog to look like something the cat dragged into your house. Find an artist who has the ability to use lighting and color correctly and you will be happy with the result.
Finally, you should reward the pet for posing for the portrait and even show the painting to your pets. This will make them happy and they will willingly pose for more portraits next time you invite an artist.
