I have nothing but superlatives as a judgement and can highly recommend JNArt!
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!!!

Glowy fur, shimmering eyes, a special aura – what are the characteristics of your friend? Make sure to describe your pet when you place an order, for example their personality, memories or traits. It helps me in my job as a pet artists to immortalise what is unique in a personal interpretation of your motif.

While discussing the frames of the project, we will find what characterizes the motif and lay the groundwork, so that I can create a personal and authentic interpretation.

Portraits of animals and people together
Since JNArt has expertise in both painting and drawing portraits of animals and people, here you can order amazing portraits where both are in the same picture.

Photo montage of pets
Sometimes it can be hard to capture a nice photo of an animal, even more so if the picture includes multiple. JNArt can put together different pictures and create a photo montage that is then used as a reference for the painting or drawing. It can used for both detailed illustrations of your pets or quick sketches.

Animals in an environment
You can order portraits where your animal is placed in a suitable environment. It can be a lively scene with movement or a composition where several animals interact. In some cases, detailed backgrounds can be a good way to enhance the mood or create a context that truly reflects the animal's natural environment and character.
