What size portrait is best for me?
As it can be hard to visualise what each size portrait will look like on a wall I’ve included some photos.
Here are 3 sizes – Left to right – 30 x 40cms gallery wrap Oil – 60 x 70cms image framed Oil – 40 x 50cm image framed Oil.
Your portrait will be a lifelong treasured investment so you want the best quality portrait possible!
Pastel Sketch Special – 18 x 24cms image
The pastel sketch special
Pastel Sketch Special
Great value! They start from $450 – suitable for a single head portrait
Generally if your portrait is framed I custom frame each one , selecting the mouldings and building the frames to suit each portrait.
Pastel sketch specials are framed with ready made frames. I upgrade these with better fittings and make them acid free so that your portrait will not deteriorate.
Because these frames are more economical I can pass my savings onto you!
There are less colour choices than with my custom framing. Black or wood ( lighter or darker toned wood).
I choose the frame to best suit each pet.

What does a 30 x 40cms image size best suit?
It’s possible to create a full body pose in this size if the pose is compact. ( front on – 3/4 on poses) .
A double head portrait is also possible. I have done a triple head portrait in this size but your pets face will be getting pretty small and I can’t get much character into their faces. I’d suggest a 40 x 50cms image size or larger for a triple head portrait.
