Guide
Pet portrait styles, explained without the costume
Five finishes, same animal. The style is a coat of paint. The photo is still the brief.

Quiet Studio
Likeness first. Neutral backdrop. Use this when someone will look for the real face.
Watercolor Wash and Graphite
Soft gift energy. Watercolor for warm coats. Graphite for seniors and sighthounds.
Honey Oil and Sunday Pop
Oil for the hallway. Pop for the mug and tumbler. Do not hang pop in a quiet room unless you mean it.
