1. Is this a digital painting or retouched photo?
No. This is a one of a kind painting done by painting on
paper using gouache, which is in the watercolor family.
Most of what is on the internet are photos that have been digitally
retouched in photoshop or some other painting program which
is printed out as a giclee ( Zhee-clay), on a surface such as paper or
canvas and not an original painting.
2. What do I receive after purchasing the painting or print?
The painting or print, choice of frame, choice of easel, back design paper,
and choice of having paper embossed or not embossed, shipped free.
3. How do I take the photos?
Send me 4 or more photos of your pet, if possible taken at the pet’s eye level.
Take the photos outside in the sunlight if possible or indoors near the light. Please do not
take the photo from your view looking down. These shots accentuate the nose
and the face gets distorted. Please take side, 3/4, and a front view.
4. What is a tabletop painting?
A painting that can be set on any desk, table or shelf.
It is more mobile then a painting which is displayed on the wall.
5. What’s the difference between the acrylic and the brass?
With the acrylic, the painting and decorative paper is placed between two sheets of
an acrylic frame and placed on the chrome easel. With the brass, the painting is placed
between the decorative paper and glass enclosed within a brass frame.
