A portrait of your dog, cat or horse. A memorial for a pet or a person who has passed. A gift that will still be on the wall in fifty years.
Proof of skill
How good are the painters?
A commissioned pet portrait can't show a painter's range — nobody has seen the dog. A master copy can: anyone can put it next to the original and judge. These are the studio's own pieces, painted to build and prove technique. They are not commissions and we do not sell copies of them.

Close up
And this is the surface
A master copy shows whether a painter can draw. It does not show whether what arrives at your door is paint. These are photographed close enough to see the brush: the thickness where the light catches, the direction the bristles went, the weave of the canvas underneath. A print has none of it, and an AI image has a smooth nothing where this texture should be.

Why the price works
Four reasons, no catch
We price by size, number of subjects and level of detail — not by an artist's name. The rest is structure.
- 01
Our own painters, no marketplace commission
The painters work in our studio. There is no platform between you and them taking a cut of every order.
- 02
Zero paid advertising
You're paying for the painting, not someone's ad budget. We grow through trade partners and word of mouth.
- 03
Studio-direct, no gallery or retail layer
Paintings ship from the studio to you or to your customer. No showroom, no distributor, no retail markup built in.
- 04
200+ shipping channels, compared on every order
Each shipment is quoted across our carrier network so you pay a competitive rate for that size and destination.
Proof of hand
Real paint, real brushstrokes
Every piece is completed by one painter from start to finish — no assembly line. Below: a close-up crop of a finished painting, and a painter at work. Every image on this site is a photograph of real hand-painted work.
- Raking-light photo sent with every digital proof
- No prints, no print-and-paint-over, no AI-generated images
- Eight-stage process documented on How We Paint

How an order runs
Five steps, one approval that matters
Nothing ships until you have seen the finished painting and said yes.

Send photo
Upload or WhatsApp the reference photo. Not sure it will work? Send it anyway and we will tell you.

Size, number of subjects and detail level set the price. You get a written quote to confirm.

Painting starts
One painter takes the piece from first sketch to final varnish. No assembly line.
- 04
Digital proof for your approval
You see the finished painting before it ships and can request adjustments.
- 05
Crated and shipped
Rolled in a tube or crated framed, with tracking, to you or direct to your customer.
For families and pet owners
The same painters, one painting at a time
Most of our work goes to trade partners, which is why a private commission costs what it does: the studio is already running, and you are paying for the painting rather than a showroom. Send a photo of your dog, cat, horse or family — or of someone you have lost — and we will tell you honestly what it will support.
