A Hand-Painted Portrait Created Just for You
Every Oil by Kyle portrait begins with your favorite photograph and is individually hand-painted in traditional oils. Each commission receives my personal attention from the first brushstroke to the final detail.
The Process
Step 1 – Share Your Photographs send your reference photos through the Contact page
Send me one or more clear, high-quality photographs of your pet. The better the reference images, the more accurately I can capture your pet's unique personality and expression.
Step 2 – Let's Discuss Your Portrait
Together we'll choose the best composition, background, size, and any special details you'd like included. I'll answer your questions and provide a quote before any work begins.
Recommended Size
My most popular and recommended portrait size is 12 × 16 inches. This size provides an excellent balance of detail, presence, and value, making it ideal for most individual pet portraits and a beautiful addition to any home.
If you're interested in a larger statement piece or a portrait featuring multiple pets, custom sizes are available upon request. I'll be happy to recommend the size that best suits your vision and your space.
Step 3 – Reserve Your Commission
Once you're ready to move forward, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your place on my painting calendar. Because each portrait is custom painted by hand and time is set aside specifically for your commission, the deposit is non-refundable after work has been scheduled and begun.
Step 4 – Your Portrait Comes to Life
Using traditional oil paints on a premium Da Vinci Pro Panel, I carefully build the painting layer by layer, capturing the character, expression, and spirit that make your pet so special.
Step 5 – Finishing & Delivery
Please allow approximately 4–6 weeks for completion of your custom pet portrait. Completion time may vary depending on the number of subjects and the level of detail requested. Because each portrait is hand-painted using traditional oil paints, adequate drying time is also required before your portrait is ready for delivery.
Once your portrait is complete and the remaining balance has been received, it will be carefully finished, packaged, and shipped. Every portrait arrives ready to hang with finished sides, professional backing, and hanging hardware installed.
