Turn your pet into an oil painting

A classical oil portrait in the Dutch Golden Age tradition, without the costume: thick impasto brushwork, layered pigment with warm undertones and dramatic light falling across the fur. It is the most traditional of the styles, often chosen to honour a pet who has died, and it works best from a well-lit photo with the face clearly in view.

What this style does

• Visible impasto brushstrokes and palette-knife texture
• Rich, warm layered pigment
• Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting that models the fur
• Fur texture and markings preserved in the brushwork
