How long does a portrait take to complete?

Depending on the complexity of the portrait, how many pets will be included, the medium used and the response time between approval for the sketch and final stages will determine how long a portrait will take. Please allow 2-4 weeks for completion. Rush orders can be requested for an additional fee.

Do I need perfect reference photos in the exact pose and lighting the painting needs?

No, that's part of what sets Perfect Paper Pets apart from the rest!

Perfect reference photos are not needed at all and in fact, a lot of time is used up by waiting to take that perfect shot of your pet. As long as you have photos that show off your pet's markings, Char can use just about any photo to create a portrait, even blurry polaroids from 40-50 years ago! 

Char's 30+ years of experience studying animals allows her to get the base shapes of any breed or species, you just need to supply the specifics from your pet. If a specific angle is needed to get the markings (say the paws or belly for example), then a request from Char will be made and a quick snap will do. Of course, photos are ideal, but detailed written descriptions are also alright, in the case of pets lost long ago that you would like to memorialise. Sit back and let Char do her artsy thing!
