Watercolour dog portrait poster, personalised — your photo, painted

Your dog painted in watercolour from their photo: the face, the ears and the exact colour of the coat, surrounded by a large wash of soft 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 muzzle and eyes unobstructed. Only the dog is painted: people, the lead and the background of the photo disappear. A phone photo is enough — JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 25 MB.

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 dog 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 dog and aims to keep what it shows: the coat, the ears, the eyes, the markings. Your dog’s name goes underneath, with the years too if you like: “Biscuit 2011 – 2024” fits in the 24 characters of the field, and you see it before you order.

The one where your dog looks at you, or nearly: head-on or in three-quarter view, eyes and muzzle 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. If you are in the photo too, only the dog is painted: you, the lead and the background are left out. The portrait is painted by artificial intelligence, so it may not look quite like your dog: you see it before you order, and you get three tries per photo.

There is no right moment for everyone: some people like to receive a picture of their dog straight away, others need time. If you’re unsure, wait a little. When the time comes, ask for a photo of the dog, 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 dog, try another photo rather than giving it. A short note with the dog’s name says more than a fine speech: “Here’s Biscuit.”

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.
