Pet Portraits – Belle’s Studio

Explore the gallery, read the guidelines and instructions, then you’re ready to place an order.

A meaningful addition to any home. Pet portraits make excellent gifts for pet lovers, and those remembering their cherished pets.

These completely unique portraits use photographs for reference and are created using watercolours, pencil and pastel before being set with finishing spray, packaged and sent to your home.

An original piece that lasts a lifetime, capturing the spirit and personality of your beloved pet has become my signature work as an artist. Check out the gallery to see past work, and guidelines and instructions for ordering your own portraits.

Photos that are not ideal for a portrait:

Dark / poor lighting
Blurry / poor quality
Face is angled down
Objects obstructing the face
Cropped image cutting off ears
Front camera skewing the shape of the face

Consider that the higher quality and more visually accurate photos will result in the best portraits.

Once you have purchased your portrait size, you will then need to email reference photos of your pet to info@bellesstudio.com.au. Sending more than one photo allows for a better understanding of the various colours on your pet and their sizing. Please make sure to send well lit, high resolution photos that are not cropped or screenshots. The clearer and higher quality the image, the more detail can be included in the portrait.

Make sure to mention any reasonable adjustments you would like made (e.g. for a collar to be removed), and please specify if this is a gift for someone and you would like any photos of the portrait to be left off social media.

Please be mindful that you are purchasing a painting and with that comes a level of creative licence. Get to know my style through my gallery before making a purchase so you have an understanding of what you will receive.
