oil painting process

How it Works

Step 1: You Share Your Muse

Send us up to five well lit photos of your pet, showing as many angles as possible.

Step 2: Configure

Select the what best fits your space and vision. We offer small, medium, and large sized portraits, available in square, portrait, or landscape orientations.

Step 3: Preview & Approve

Before we begin the painting process, you’ll receive a digital preview of your portrait that's been crafted by our team of artists. We translate your pet’s spirit into a one-of-a-kind painting, never replicating photos exactly, but always staying true to their personality. This is your chance to confirm we’ve captured your pet’s essence or any request adjustments by the artists so the finished piece feels just right.

Step 4: Production

Once we get your approval, we'll beging the painting process. Our proprietary system combines traditional oil painting techniques with precision robotics guided by our artists.

Step 5: You Receive Your Masterpiece

Your finished portrait is shipped directly to you.

About K9 Craft

At K9 Craft, we are artists first. Every portrait we create is a true custom pet oil painting on canvas, not a print. Each piece is painted to order, capturing your pet’s personality with the depth, texture, and emotion only real brushstrokes can bring.

Our work isn’t mass-produced. It’s custom art, crafted from your photos and stories, made to honor the bond you share with your companion. These are one-of-a-kind paintings that celebrate your pet for a lifetime.
