Fantastic artist who brought my ideas to life in the form of a specially commissioned watercolour painting. The result was a much appreciated gift for my tutor.

Johannes is a good listener and has a great sense of instinct. He is solution-oriented - and in the end I got a really nice piece of work that I could hand over to a satisfied and happy jubilarian.

The portrait of my dog turned out marvellously, so expressive and vivid, I am really very happy with the result. It exceeded my high expectations.
We had good and smooth communication, and the promised completion date was marginally met.
I have nothing but superlatives as a judgement and can highly recommend JNArt!

An absolutely stunning charcoal painting of five beloved family members.
So incredibly detailed and the resemblance between the painting and the actual dogs is striking. Responsive artist who adapted to the wishes that existed.
Highly recommend JNArt!!!
We asked Johannes to create a painting in connection with a farewell party for two colleagues. It turned out incredible and he really captured both personalities and a lot of details, also within a tight deadline. We are incredibly satisfied and can really recommend Johannes!

Order portraits of dogs in different levels of detail:

Low level of detail - If you have a lower budget, you can get sketches or drawings of dogs. In some cases, it is even possible to create simple dog paintings. Here, it's all about feeling and speed, and with quick but precise brushstrokes or sketches, Johannes captures the most significant features. A dog sketch can be perfect for depicting a lively dog in motion and requires a great deal of artistic skill to achieve.

Medium level of detail – Ruled by similarity and catching the most crucial parts of the image. It is easier to recognise the dog with a medium level portrait in pencil, charcoal, marker, acrylic or watercolour.

High level of detail – For you who values capturing every detail. With a higher budget comes time to create detail rich drawings in pencil, charcoal or marker. Or carefully executed, painted portraits in oil, acrylic or watercolor.

Dog art in different styles

Every dog is unique, and every dog owner has their own personal style. That's why JNArt offers dog art in all kinds of styles, so you can get the perfect portrait to suit your dog and your home.

You can choose from the styles on this website, but you can also find an image online or elsewhere and ask if I can emulate that particular style. Because I have a lot of experience and expertise in different media, you can get dog art in several different styles.

Here you can buy a dog portrait that includes a person

A dog portrait of a human and a dog interacting is a great way to show their relationship. Creating a dog portrait of a human and a dog together is a challenge, as it requires accuracy and understanding of both types of portraits. Dog portrait artist Johannes Nygren is an expert in creating portraits that capture the personalities of both humans and dogs in a realistic and believable way.

Dog portraits from photos in different techniques and medium:

Pencil portrait dog

Order a dog portrait in pencil if you appreciate this classic technique. The grey tones and the ability to create both quick, expressive sketches and detailed, photographic drawings gives you the ability to choose what best suits you. This medium also allows you to order a simple dog drawing and later let the artist refine it until you are completely satisfied.

Watercolour painting dog

A dog painted in watercolour is a great option for those who want Johannes to render a shaggy or shimmering coat. You can create both detailed watercolour paintings of dogs and more flowing, simple compositions. You can almost feel the wet nose and see the beautiful eyes when the watercolour painting is finished!

Oil painting of dog

Dreaming of a timeless and exclusive painting of your dog? An oil painting is the perfect choice for those looking for a piece of dog art with depth, colour intensity and impressive detail. A carefully executed oil painting captures your dog's unique expression in a classic medium that will last for generations. At JNArt, you can order a high-quality dog portrait in oil – an investment in art that remains as beautiful year after year.

Dog portrait pastel

Would you like a unique and detailed dog portrait in soft, vibrant colours? With pastel chalk, pastel pencil or pan pastel, JNArt creates beautiful dog paintings from your photo. This technique produces a lovely pastel colour palette and is perfect for capturing the expression and character of the animal. For extra depth and contrast, pastel can also be combined with charcoal. Order a handmade pastel portrait of your dog and get a piece of art to keep forever!

Digital dog portrait

A digitally painted portrait of a dog opens up endless possibilities. JNArt works in many styles - from graphic and modern to detailed paintings, sketches or photo collages. Even AI can be combined with digital painting. Describe your idea, and the drawn or painted dog portrait will be created in a style that suits you.

Dog portrait in ink

With liquid ink or careful marker strokes, a dog portrait can be created in many styles. Order a portrait in ink if you like deep blacks and fine details. Whether you prefer a cartoon style or inspiration from Japanese and Chinese calligraphy, this technique is worth exploring.

Acrylic painting dog

With its short drying times, strong pigments and high contrast, acrylic can be a fantastic alternative for a dog portrait. Order an acrylic painting of a dog and choose between stylish, graphic interpretations or a painting rich in detail like a classic oil painting. JNArt uses high-pigment, high-quality acrylic paints that give a fantastic lustre to your dog portrait.

Why order dog portrait painting?

Dogs live and touch us, and dogs die and often leave big gaps behind. It can be nice to celebrate these great personalities while they spread their love, for example by giving a painting or drawing as a gift. It can also be important to recognise the impact a dog has had by letting it take up space in the form of a painted or drawn portrait. A dog portrait is just the thing for those who want to immortalise a lifelong friend.

Premium - JNArt photographs your dog

When ordering, you should choose your favourite photos of your dog. But if you don't have any good photos, it can be difficult to capture your dog in a good photo template.

JNArt takes great dog photographs and in addition, there will be the very best conditions for creating an epic painted or drawn dog portrait. Here you can also get tips on how to take a good photo yourself to use as a refence.
