Tips For Choosing A Pet Portrait Artist In Bronxville NY

By Marylou Forbes


Pets are very special. They often feel more like members of the family and provide comfort for their owners. Therefore they often want to have something so that they can always remember them. One way of doing this is to commission a pet portrait artist in Bronxville NY.

Some people may ask why you should use an artist when you can take a photo. The problem is with modern cameras, phones and so forth there are a lot of photos. A picture can be a lot more special because it has been created by an artist who has taken the care to capture the spirit of your pet.

There is also the concern that your pet would not be able to sit through a sitting. While it is possible to arrange sittings generally an artist will work from a photo. This means that they can create the picture without worrying about whether or not the animal will be able to sit still. This can also be useful if your pet has recently died and want a picture to commemorate your recently deceased pet.

Artists work with a variety of mediums in order to produce their pictures. Some will use watercolours or oils. This allows a range of styles. There is not necessarily a right or wrong. It is purely about the style and what you feel is best suited to you and how your want your pet depicted in the picture.

Generally people usually associate portraits with a canvas. This is often the best way if you want something displayed in your house. However this is not necessarily the only option available to you and it is worth considering other ways of displaying the pictures of your pet.

Other options for items to display a picture include cushions, jewellery and vases. This can be a different way of showing your love of your pet. If you do choose to do this ask to see examples to see the quality of the items. You can see examples by going on their website as well as looking through their online portfolio.

Furthermore if you regularly attend dog shows or other events the chances are you will meet artists and be able to talk to them. If you have friends who are walkers or pet sitters then it is likely they will see adverts for services as well as getting feedback from people who have used those services in the past. Generally a lot of businesses in this way get work through positive word of mouth so if you get several recommendations for the same person they are worth contacting.

While price is a factor experience and quality are important considerations as well. Find out how long the piece will take as well so you can compare this with other artists. It is likely that a better quality picture will be more expensive and take a bit longer but is more likely to be worth the investment in the long term. Use your search engine to find artists in your local area as well as feedback from people who have used their services in the past.
