Determining the Perfect Size for Custom Pet Portraits

Perfect Size for Custom Pet Portraits

As a pet parent who loves art, I'm often asked, "How big should you go with a pet portrait?" The size you choose can really impact how your custom piece fits your space. Here I'll overview factors to consider when selecting dimensions for quality pet portraits.

Envision Where You'll Display Your Pet Portrait

First, imagine where in your home you want to proudly exhibit your portrait. Then select a size that flatters that space:

  • Smaller prints for offices, shelves and cozy spaces. Consider Portrait My Pet's compact A4 size, perfect for desks.
  • Medium pieces like A3 that balance on accent walls or entryways.
  • Large statement-making canvases like Portrait My Pet's generous A1 size designed for expansive walls.
  • For versatile pieces made to move, opt for mid-range dimensions like A2 from Portrait My Pet.

Take measurements to ensure your chosen size synergizes with the intended area.

Choose Size Based on How Many Pets You Want Featured

If portraying a single pet, size comes down to personal preference. But for multi-pet portraits, go larger:

  • A single pet floats nicely in smaller A4 or A3 sizes from Portrait My Pet.
  • For two or more pets, level up to A2 or A1 to give each breathing room.

With a roomier canvas, the artist can spotlight each animal and relationship.

Select a Profile View for Larger Sizing Impact

Interestingly, a profile or straight-on portrait has greater visual presence than a head-on depiction.

  • A forward facing headshot can risk looking compressed in tighter space.
  • But a strong profile fills canvases with dramatic effect. The pet's features become compelling.

Go with profile or angled views for portraits made to impress like Portrait My Pet's grand A1 size.

Match Size to Your Pet's Personality

Just as art style suits a pet's spirit, so does scale.

  • Larger for natural showstoppers like regal dogs and horses.
  • Moderate for cute yet reserved pets like bunnies and kittens.
  • Smaller for pets with concentrated charm like birds, rodents and reptiles.

When size mirrors personality, portraits have maximum impact.

Finding Portrait Size and Style Synergy

From itty-bitty A4 prints to eye-catching extra large A1 canvases, Portrait My Pet's range gives you artistic freedom. Just be sure to thoughtfully envision size, placement, composition and personality fit. With synergy between scale and your vision, your custom pet portrait will forever captivate.

Great Gift for anyone!

Great gift for family and/or friends. The quality of the picture is great work whether you go canvas or print. Highly recommended for any pet owner!

Absolutely fantastic

Lovely quality and print went for the A2 of my German shepherds, a real talking point when people come round, one of the prints was cut on arrival, contacted them and it was replaced in a few days. Customer service fantastic 5*

Cats as masters.

The portrait of my wife's cats in the masters outfits was superb. The whole process of downloading photos and ordering was really easy and from ordering to delivery was relatively quick. Would highly recommend.

My Son-In-Law is gonna love it!!!

I perused the numerous pages of options to Portrait My Pet and found the perfect option....the dog riding a motorcycle!!! James is also a motorcycle rider and I know he is going to love it for his birthday!!!

Cat of Thrones

This was a gift to my adult son. He is a lover of Game of Thrones and his cat. "This gift is beyond an A+" he said. Your idea was able to help me send my son an unusual and A+ gift!!!
We both love it!!

Can't wait to see my partners face when she unwraps it on Christmas day.

Fantastic and great quality product. Would highly recommend this website. I love my cat poster, thank you

thank you for letting me see what it would look like beforehand.. and for getting it to me so quickly!! I love it.

Loved our photo and got exactly what we wanted! This was a gift and the recipient is super happy. The owner worked with me and couldn't have been nicer!!

We were under the impression and thought we paid for canvas. We just got a photo on paper. We had it framed and it turned out very nice. I sent two emails about the canvas and heard nothing. Not sure if we would use this site again.

They worked with me to make exactly what I wanted! I'll definitely use them again for any canvas work I need done!

I am extremely thrilled with the portrait.
Excellent quality through and through.
Seller was helpful throughout.
Can't rate highly enough.
