Unique Oil Pet Paintings On Canvas

By Chloe Gib


Pets give their owners so much joy and pleasure, often sharing a very close relationship with them for many years. Pictures of animals have been discovered since earliest times, and today people take photographs of their pets in much the same way. Original oil pet paintings are also available, which produces a very high quality portrait of the animal.

Evidence of a unique bond between animals and humans goes back to ancient times. Images of horses, bulls and other creatures have been found in the Caves of Lascaux, located in France. These pictures, which have been carved into the rock using stones and mineral pigments, date back to the Paleolithic period.

There was great demand for animal images in China during the Ming Dynasty. Great importance was placed on a system of political and ethical meanings, which were incorporated into these images. Over the centuries the country has witnessed much change but many of the images still exist.

Animal oil paintings have always been popular, and can been seen in many of the finest old houses. You will find art galleries and museums all over the world displaying examples of this subject matter. There have been many artists who have specialized in animal portraits, which include Franz Marc, George Stubbs, Winslow Homer, and many others.

Today, a photograph is all that is needed for an artist to produce a beautiful oil painting. As the features need to be painted accurately, a high quality image of the animal is required. Several images can be provided for the artist, if preferred, but take care to only send copies not originals, or alternatively, forward the images via the internet.

For the best results, the portrait will be painted using good quality oils, onto a stretched linen canvas. The artist will pay particular attention to the pose of the animal, the shading of the fur and the expression in their eyes. If there is a really good image showing the pet looking lovingly up at someone, then delete the person from the image, so that the expression on the animal's face can be copied.

Custom pet art can also be given as a gift to an animal owner. This is a unique and original way of having a permanent reminder of a pet, both during its lifetime and beyond. Additional information regarding oil pet paintings can be found online.
