Portrait Styles

A great reason for commissioning your dog oil portrait with us is that we are so versatile in painting different portrait styles to suit your dog’s personality and your preferences. The images below show you a few different options you have. Also please remember to look at the Portfolio, which shows you a a lot of variety and scope. And remember, that if you see a dog portrait that you like we can get the same artist to paint your portrait for you too. Alternatively, if you have a certain style in mind, we’re always up for the challenge of painting something new and different, no matter how unusual the request!

One of the most striking portrait styles we offer is the Dog Portraits Painted with a Block Colour. This distinctive approach combines the bold simplicity of solid background colours with the intricate detailing of your dog’s likeness. The block colour style creates a modern, vibrant aesthetic that makes your dog’s portrait stand out, turning it into a true statement piece.

For those who want their dog’s portrait to capture every detail with lifelike accuracy, our Realism Style Dog Portraits are the perfect choice. This portrait style is dedicated to creating a true-to-life representation of your dog, capturing not just their appearance but their unique personality and spirit.

For those who appreciate the grandeur and timeless elegance of classical art, our Old Master Style Dog Portraits offer a unique and sophisticated way to celebrate your beloved pet. Inspired by the techniques of the great European masters, this portrait style imbues your dog’s image with the rich textures, deep tones, and dramatic lighting characteristic of traditional fine art.

For those who appreciate a whimsical and imaginative approach to pet portraits, our Dog Portraits in the Style of Thierry Poncelet offer a delightful blend of humour and elegance. Inspired by the renowned Belgian artist Thierry Poncelet, this portrait style reimagines your dog as an aristocratic figure from a bygone era, often dressed in period clothing with a dignified yet playful expression.
