A dog portrait in the Museum style
Your subject alone on a single deep olive-umber field, lit from one side — the way museum portraits are painted — from $49, made to order.
What Museum does with a dog. One animal on a single deep olive-umber ground, lit from one side. Leashes, sofas and carpets disappear; the face reads from across the room because nothing competes with it.
The photo. Daylight, eyes in focus, taken at the dog's own eye level rather than from above. A three-quarter view paints better than straight on. For a black dog, skip the flash — the highlights do the work.
The size. 16×24 in a hallway or beside a bookshelf; 24×36 above the sofa. Big dogs look right big.
How to start. Upload one photo and see it painted in Museum free, in about 20 seconds. Your first three paintings are free; leave an email for as many more as you like, and change up to five details free. A person checks the full-resolution proof, and you see it before anything prints; if it isn't right, we repaint it until it is.
