At the easel
A person painting
your particular pet.
I’m Ada, the painter at Whiskerpane. I like the small, familiar things: a stripe that stops halfway down a nose, a bent whisker, the ear that never quite stands up.
A conversation before a canvas.
Actually, a wood panel. Its smooth surface lets me build up small brush marks without losing the shape of a face. I work in acrylic, in layers, from the photos we choose together.
I don’t need a posed photo shoot. A snapshot where the eyes and markings are clear is often the best start. Tell me which details you always notice; they are useful things to have beside the easel.
You see the sketch before painting starts, and a preview when the portrait is ready for your one round of changes. We agree on the size, background and timing first.
Small studio.
Local pickup.
I paint in Maple Crossing. Finished work is collected by appointment; we agree on a time and share pickup details when the painting is ready. There are no walk-in hours.
For dogs and cats, certainly. For a bird, rabbit, reptile or another pet, tell me what you have in mind and we will choose a photo that shows their shape clearly.
December gifts have their own dates. Read the schedule before choosing a gift day.

An expression, a marking, a favorite pose. That’s a good place to begin.
