Hi! My name is Atina and I am the DogHeroArt artist! I specialize in creating stunning watercolor portraits of pets, including elephants, raccoons, rabbits, goats, ostriches, and more. Each portrait is meticulously hand-painted from your provided photo, capturing the unique personality and essence of your beloved companion.

As an experienced pet portraitist, I've had the privilege of working with various zoos from around the world, creating custom portraits for their exhibits. The displayed pictures of painted portraits are real orders from real customers, proudly hung in different zoo exhibits for visitors to enjoy. Whether you're a zookeeper, a veterinarian, or simply a pet lover, commissioning a personalized pet portrait is a wonderful way to honor your animal friends and add a touch of warmth and character to your space. I use my customers' photos to draw from, and I ask them to provide a selection to generate a true likeness with the finished portrait.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS - My aim when producing your portrait is to create a drawing that you can treasure for many years to come. To do this, one of the most important things in commissioning your portrait is to ensure I can work from a good photograph. I cannot emphasize enough that 'the better the photo, the better the finished portrait'. I am here to help you get the best photograph possible and give you as much advice as you need.

LEVELS - Take the photo at eye level with your pet. Photos looking down on your pet look unflattering and unnatural to the eye. The best angles are with your pet looking straight at you or with their head slightly tilted to one side looking past the camera.

QUALITY - The very first thing I look for in a photograph is the quality. As a highly detailed watercolor artist I am attracted to detail like a bee to honey, so the more detail in a photo the better your portrait will be. This is especially important for your pet's key features such as their hair color, eyes, and nose. It is highly important that the photo is sharp and in focus. Sadly, I am unable to work from blurry photos.

LIGHTING - Take your pet's photo in natural light, ideally outdoors. The best time is on a bright overcast day but not in direct sunlight as this can cast some unflattering images. Indoor light can significantly change the hair color, so it is important when you submit an indoor photo, to make sure the picture shows your pet's real color. Remember, I paint what I see.

Turn Flash 'OFF' - Please NEVER use Flash. Flash causes a number of problems and looks very unflattering. It often masks out a lot of detail, causes unnatural shadows and colors, and can often result in the dreaded red-eye or eye-glowing effect.

About me

As a professional artist, it is important to use the highest quality art materials available so that my portraits can last through generations. For my colored portraits, I use a mixed selection of paints and pencils for the best color palette and use of light-fast materials; I use Winsor & Newton paints, Faber Castell Polychromos, Prismacolor Premiers, Caran D'Ache Luminance 6901, and Derwent Studio pencils. I also sometimes use Caran D'Ache Neocolor II as an underpainting for the start of a portrait. The pencils I use are archival, with the highest degrees of lightfastness. My graphite portraits are created using Faber-Castell 9000 pencils and Derwent Graphic Pencils. The paper I use is French Arches Aquarelle and Italian Fabriano artistico/classico 260gsm hot pressed paper which is acid-free and archival museum-rated.

Amazing!!

We received our late Roxy’s portrait today and it is amazing! The detail that went into this is so wonderful!! Ordering was easy and I received a quick response to an email I sent. Atina is so talented, thank you for helping keep Roxy’s memory alive.

Blown away!

I was beyond happy with the painting of my beloved Karma! So lifelike!!! There’s also a bit of a 3D effect to it! I recommended to all my friends on FB!

A Perfect Pair of Cavaliers!

I was hesitant to use any online anything to have portraits made of my dogs, but I am so thankful I worked with Atina!
I am THRILLED with the results and would recommend her to any- and everyone!
The process was easy, professional, affordable in every facet, from selecting and sending poses, getting questions answered to receiving carefully packaged results that perfectly capture my dogs’ likenesses and personalties. I have included the pictures I took and sent, the unframed results and the boys posing with their framed portraits.
Thank you so very much, Atina, for using your artistic gift to give me so much joy!
If anyone is deciding whether to have a portrait made—go for it!

Repeat customer

This was our 6th time ordering a dog portrait. We love how Atina captures all our puppies individual personalities. Loving our newest puppy portrait of our Keegan. Atina never disappoints
