Watercolour cat portrait poster, personalised — your photo, painted

Your cat painted in watercolour from their photo: the face, the ears, the whiskers and the colour of the coat, surrounded by a soft wash of colours and a few splashes, on textured paper. Their name can be written underneath in a handwritten script. Four palettes to choose from: sage and ochre, powder pink, ocean blue or terracotta.

A sharp photo where the head is clearly visible, head-on or three-quarter view, with the eyes and nose unobstructed. A cat won’t pose, so get in close, in daylight, when they look at you. For a black cat, a well-lit photo where the eyes and nose stand out gives a better result. A phone photo is enough — JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 25 MB. Only the cat is painted: people and the background disappear.

Yes. An artificial intelligence paints the portrait from your photo in about thirty seconds: it is not a hand-painted work. You see the result before you order, and exactly that image is what we print, in our workshop in Aveyron — nothing is redone or retouched between the screen and the paper.

You get three tries per photo, with the palette of your choice; a sharper, head-on photo usually gives a better result. The name is written separately: you can change it at any time without redoing the portrait. Once the order is placed, the portrait you saw is the one that is printed; like any personalised poster, it cannot be returned, except for a fault or an error on our side.

Yes. When a cat is gone, what’s left is photos on a phone, and the wish for something to hang on the wall rather than scroll through. The portrait is painted from a photo of your cat and aims to keep what it shows: the coat, the ears, the eyes, the markings. Your cat’s name goes underneath in handwriting, and you can add a line of text under it, such as the years (“2009 – 2024”) or a few words of your own: you see it before you order.

The one where your cat looks at you, or nearly: head-on or in three-quarter view, eyes and nose clearly visible. An old photo or one taken on a phone can be enough; a blurry one, taken from far away or against the light, gives a less faithful portrait. The portrait is painted by artificial intelligence, so it may not look quite like your cat: you see it before you order, in about thirty seconds, and you get three tries per photo.

There is no right moment for everyone: some people like to receive a picture of their cat straight away, others need time. If you’re unsure, wait a little. When the time comes, ask for a photo of the cat, sharp and head-on if possible: people are touched that you thought of it, and a sharp photo makes a more faithful portrait. You see the portrait before you pay: if it doesn’t look like the cat, try another photo rather than giving it as it is. A short note with the cat’s name says more than a fine speech: “Here’s Miso.”

It is only used to make your poster. It is stored in a private space, never published, and we delete it thirty days after shipping — or after purchase, for the print-ready file — along with the painted portrait. Location data in a phone photo is removed as soon as it is uploaded. To be painted, the photo is sent to an artificial intelligence service (Google), which receives it for that purpose only.
