HOW IT WORKS
Watercolor Pet Portraits

  1. Complete (Order Now) Form indicating your interest in  pet portrait painting/s. Briefly describe the pet/s, portrait size/s, how many, whether it's a gift, and when you would (ideally) like to have it.  NOTE:  Each custom portrait takes between 6 - 16 hours (depending on size of portrait, darkness of pet's hair, and how much hair). 
  2. Within 24 hours upon receiving your information,  you receive a phone call from Amanda Pirot  to discuss the portrait/s (and pertinent details). You pay 50% deposit (Non-Refundable) to ensure your space in the painting schedule. We accept Pay Pal, Venmo, Cash, Credit Cards (Visa / Mastercard / AMEX payments via SQUARE), and Cashier's Check.  Upon receiving 50% Non-Refundable deposit, Amanda Pirot will begin the painting (1st come, 1st serve). 
  3. You text or email  2-3 favorite photos of each pet's (and/or person's) 's face (and full body photos for medium and largest size paintings). The photos ideally should be taken head on and at eye level.  It's important to be able to see eyes, nose, mouth and chest and hair coloring, in detail.   NOTE: Best photo is one that captures essence of pet's personality, i.e. smiling, alert, cautious, observing  
  4.  You  receive a phone call or text communication upon portrait/s completion. You pay 50% balance due.
  5. Before  your portrait is shipped, you (may) specifically request to see a photo of the painting/s to assure you are satisfied. Minor corrections can be done, as needed. Keep in mind that watercolor is a medium where you can not delete paint, only add paint.

International Shipping rates apply.  NOTE: Currently accept commissions in N. America and Europe only. ​​​

What Clients Are Saying

"My husband told me that he got me a present I could never guess.  I just opened my presents and started to cry happy tears.  Not only do the portraits look like our furry kids, but this gift shows an extra step of love.  Your just don’t just run into a store and pick up something.  It takes extra time and a deep understanding of your loved one. Thank you." C.A., Marin County, CA
