Why people do this

It is not really about the painting.

Here is what painters actually tell us afterwards.

  • You made it. Not a printer.

    Anyone can order a print. This one has your brushstrokes in it. That is the part people notice when they ask about it.

  • It gives you time with them

    Many people paint a pet they have lost. You spend hours looking at their face. People tell us those hours mattered more than the painting did.

  • You do not need talent

    Match the number to the paint. Fill in the shape. That is the whole skill. People who say they cannot draw finish these every day.

  • Your head goes quiet

    No screen. No scrolling. Just the next small shape. Most people say it is the calmest part of their week.

  • It is the gift people cry over

    Hand someone a painting of their dog that you painted for them. Nothing you can buy lands the same way.

  • It ends up on the wall

    Not in a drawer. People hang these in the living room and tell the story every time a guest asks.

    How it works

    Photo in. Painting out.

    • Send a photo

      The one already on your phone. Good light on their face is all we need.

    • We make your kit

      We turn the photo into numbered shapes and match the paints to their colors.

    • Paint it

      Canvas, paints and brushes come in the box. Start with the background.

    • Hang it up

      Someone asks where you got it. You get to say you made it.

      Before you upload

      Questions.

      What photo should I send?

      Good light on their face. Eyes in focus. Taken close to their eye level. Daylight by a window works best. If your photo will not work, we email you before we print.

      How many colors should I pick?

      24 is easy and relaxed. 36 is what most people choose, and it shows more fur detail. 48 is for close-up portraits and takes longer.

      Will it look just like my photo?

      It will look like a painting, not a photo. Flat color, visible brushstrokes, simpler detail. That is the look people want. Pick 36 or 48 colors if you want fine markings.

      Can I put two pets on one canvas?

      Yes. Send one photo with both of them in it. Pick a bigger canvas and more colors so neither one loses detail.

      How long does it take?

      Custom kits take a little longer to make because yours is built for you. Delivery dates show at checkout. Most people spend 6 to 12 hours painting, spread over a few evenings.

      What if I mess it up?

      Let it dry and paint right over it. Acrylic covers itself. This is the most common worry and the easiest fix.

      The photo is already on your phone.

      Upload it. We check it free before we print anything.

      P.S. — If you are painting a pet you have lost, send the photo you keep going back to. Pick 36 colors or more. Then take your time with it.
