A dog portrait in the Gallery style
Your subject alone on a single deep olive-umber field, lit from one side — the way museum portraits are painted — from $69, made to order in the United States.
What Gallery 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 raised highlights do the work.
The size. 16×20 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 Gallery free, in about fifteen seconds. Leave an email to see the other five styles and make up to three free adjustments. A person checks the full-resolution proof and you approve it before anything prints; if it isn't right, we repaint it free.
