Once you decide to get a portrait of your pet, the next question is: which style? Here's a friendly guide to the most popular looks and who each one suits.
Classic colour
True-to-life and timeless. Classic colour keeps your pet exactly as they are — every marking, every expression. Great if you want the portrait to feel like the real thing, and it fits any room.
Black & white
Elegant, emotional and always in style. B&W strips away distraction and puts all the focus on your pet's face and character. It's especially beautiful for memorial portraits — quiet, timeless and heartfelt.
Watercolour
Soft, artistic and gentle. Watercolour gives a hand-painted, dreamy feel with delicate edges and flowing colour. Lovely for a light, airy room or a softer, sentimental look.
Pop art
Bold, bright and full of personality. Pop art turns your pet into a vivid, high-contrast statement piece — perfect for a fun, modern space or a pet with a big character. It really sings as an acrylic print.
Sepia & vintage
Warm, nostalgic tones for a classic, heirloom feel — like a treasured old photograph.
How to choose the right style
- Match your room: bright & modern → pop art or acrylic; soft & cosy → watercolour; classic → colour or B&W.
- Match the mood: celebration → colour/pop art; memorial → black & white or sepia.
- Match your pet: big personality → pop art; gentle soul → watercolour.
