CUSTOM DOG PORTRAITS: TURN YOUR PHOTO INTO A PAINTING
Dog portraits have always had a place in art history because dogs have always had a place alongside us. Our relationship with our dogs are comparable to those with our best friends or our children. It’s for this reason that so many dog owners commission portrait artists to turn their dog’s photo into a portrait. Oil paint on canvas has long been used to capture the essence of a dog, and unlike photography, it captures the hand of an artist as they interpret and respond to your dog’s unique and specific character. Below are examples of photographs that dog portraitist Hannah Stahl has turned into oil paintings.
As you can see from these examples, oil paint is a transformative medium that brings forth the best qualities of your dog. Your photos become the raw ingredient for creating this meaningful piece of art that will last for generations. Click below to learn more about commissioning your own custom dog portrait today!
