    What makes pastel portraits special

    Pastel is a medium that sits between drawing and the brushed mediums, the rich pigment with the directness of a drawn line. Pastel portraits have a warmth and immediacy that oil doesn't always achieve, the marks are visible, the colour is rich, and the texture of the surface comes through in a way that gives the portrait a physical presence.

    For pet portraits, pastel works particularly well with warm colouring, golden retrievers, red setters, ginger cats, sandy-coloured dogs all glow in pastel in a way that suits the medium's natural warmth.

    Soft without being weak

    Pastel is sometimes associated with gentle, delicate subjects, but pastel portraits can be bold and confident as well as soft and gentle. The range of the medium suits the range of animals. A pastel portrait of a German Shepherd or a Great Dane has real presence. A pastel portrait of a tabby cat or a Cavalier has warmth and gentleness.

    As a gift

    A pastel pet portrait is a more unusual choice than oil or watercolour, and that's part of its value as a gift. It's distinctive, it's beautiful, and it's not what most people would think to order. Digital from $13 $10. Framed from $63 $51. Free worldwide shipping.

    From $13 $10 for instant digital download. Prints from $24 $19. Free worldwide tracked shipping.

    Getting the best photo for your portrait

    • Face fills most of the frame — the closer the better
    • Eyes are sharp and clearly visible — this is the most important element
    • Natural light — near a window or outdoors works best
    • No flash — flash creates harsh shadows and red-eye
    • Front-facing or slight angle — avoid pure side profiles
    • Your pet is awake and alert — sleepy or blinking photos lose the expression
    • Phone photos are absolutely fine — no professional camera needed
    • If in doubt, try it — the preview is free and takes 90 seconds
