Create one horizontal 3:2 editorial image for PetPicto. Side-by-side editorial still life on a neutral warm gray wall. At left, a crisp matte photographic portrait print of a woman with her cream terrier, at right, a visibly hand-brushed oil painting on linen of the same pair and pose. Natural shadows, grazing window light catches impasto, even balance, no hard divider, no labels. Fill the image edge to edge. No words, logos, captions, signatures or watermark.
Start with where the portrait will live
If you want to send the same portrait to three siblings, a digital file is easy to share and print in different sizes. If the gift is one original object, ask an artist about the medium, surface and finished dimensions. A digital image with an oil-painted look still arrives as a file.
| Decision | AI digital portrait | Artist commission |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | One PetPicto download costs $19. Printing and framing are separate. | PortraitFlip lists people-and-pet oils from $149 to $914 across options. Request a quote for your canvas and group. |
| Likeness and revisions | Compare the generated preview with your references before purchasing. | Ask when you can request changes to the arrangement, markings or expression. Paint Your Life describes both mock-up and painting approval. |
| Timing | You can use a purchased file once it is ready to download. | Allow time for approval, painting and transit. Ask the studio for a delivery estimate for your address. |
| Finish | Print the file on paper or canvas at your chosen size. | The artist’s brushwork and paint surface are part of the original object. |

What if the only photo is old?
For either approach, identify one or two details that matter most: a white blaze on the forehead, a chipped ear, the shape of a smile. Supply a second view if you have one. With a commissioned painting, discuss those details before the artist starts. With a digital portrait, use them to evaluate the preview. The memorial portrait guide explains how to work from a paper print.
