Your pet, exactly as they are: the head tilt, the spots, the one ear that never stands up. We hand-paint a full-body portrait of your dog, cat, rabbit, horse or any beloved animal from your photos, in watercolor and gouache against a clean white background, in our Oregon studio.
It's a gift people cry over in the best way. Give it for a birthday, the holidays, a gotcha day or in memory of a companion who's gone. You can include up to three animals in one painting.
How it works:
Choose your size and number of animals, then check out. If you add more than 1 animal, they will be painted within the same painting. If you want them represented individually, please place separate orders.
Email your favorite photo to hello@thescribblist.com. Clear, well-lit shots at your pet’s eye level work best. The photo should have accurate color and include all features that will be painted.
Your portrait is lovingly hand-painted in our studio.
Your original painting ships in 2-4 weeks and will come packaged with a sturdy backer and clear plastic sleeve.
