Studio Noir
Custom pet portrait, painted from your photo
Studio Noir is one of our black-and-white portraits. We paint your pet into it from one photo you already have, in black, white and grey with no colour anywhere. Because there is no colour to lean on, the likeness lives entirely in tone and drawing: a white coat stays the brightest thing on the canvas, a black one keeps its deepest darks, and every marking still reads as itself.
Available as a finished portrait: we paint it, you approve it, then we print and post it. This style is not offered as a paint-by-numbers kit — the detail does not reduce to numbered areas well.
You see the finished artwork and approve it before anything is printed. If it does not look like them, we paint it again.
From $69 AUD. Free preview first — you only pay once you have seen it.
