I, the creator of your pet portrait, am a true animal lover. To immortalise your pet through art brings me so much joy. I aim for every portrait to be a unique and high quality work of art.

Pet portraits in different styles and techniques

You will find examples of how your masterpiece can look below. As the artist, I can even adjust the style based of an image you have found elsewhere, if you would prefer that. It is always fun to get to use my talent as an illustrator to create anything from photographs to watercolour illustrations and handpainted pet portraits. Illustrated paintings of animals can have many different types of expressions.

Pet painted with watercolour

Marker

Hand drawn pet portrait using pencils

Pet portrait using oil paints

Pet portrait using charcoal

Charcoal is a technique similar to pencil that gives a more intense result. This technique is well suited for bigger drawings

Digital pet portrait

I can even tailor-make digital pet portraits. It can, for example, be a digital painting that emulates classical techniques that is printed on a specific kind of paper. It can also be a playful photomontage, collage or a combination using AI.

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 very pleasant and professional in his communication, and I highly recommend JNArt for creating beautiful artwork based on one's vision.

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!

Describe your pet!

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.

How long does it take to order a pet portrait?

I always aim to deliver pet portraits within two weeks. Sometimes there may be a slightly longer wait, but if it's urgent I make sure to prioritise portraits that need to be finished quickly. When you send an order request, you will receive an estimate of when delivery can take place.

How is the artwork delivered?

Your pet portrait is sent via mail as a traceable parcel. It can be sent using another delivery service, if it is an urgent order. You are always welcome to come and pick up your masterpiece in person at my studio in Majorna, if you live in the Gothenburg area.

What techniques can my pet portrait be done in?

JNArt creates pet portraits in watercolour, oil paint, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, pan pastel, colored pencils, markers, ink, as well as digital paintings and photo collages.

Can I have my pet portrait in a specific style?

Yes, it is usually possible to have your pet portrait done in a specific style. It can be a blend of mediums and techniques, but also different historical styles or design trends.

What if I am not satisfied with my portrait?

It is important to me that you as a customer are satisfied with the finished artwork. Before placing an order, it is therefore crucial that we have a clear dialogue, so that the framework of the project is clear and your expectations can be met. If you have any comments on the finished portrait, you are always welcome to share them - in most cases I can make adjustments. Should JNArt not have completed the assignment as agreed, you are of course entitled to cancel the purchase.

Can I have my pet portrait framed?

Of course! For an added price, I will frame your painting or drawing in whatever way best suits it.

Photo tips for commissioning a pet portrait

When you order an animal portrait, you can choose the photos you think are suitable, and then we will discuss which one works best as a model. You can also follow the guide below to take new photos of your pet. If you live near Gothenburg, you can let me photograph your animal. Read more about Johannes as a photographer below.

Portraits of domesticated animals

JNArt creates painted and drawn pet portraits of the highest quality. The most common motifs within this category are cat, dog and horse portraits. You can also order vibrant portraits of other pets, such as bunnies, guinea pigs and birds.

Portraits of wild animals

Do you want a painted portrait of a wild animal, insect or any other creature from the animal kingdom? You can commission a portrait from JNArt of practically any kind of animal. 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.

Would you like to order a portrait of your animal?
