A timeless gallery oil painting — the most-loved pet portrait style.
Painted pet portraits
One photo of your pet becomes a work of art.
Gesso & Fur turns one photo of your pet into a portrait in eighteen painted styles. You get eight versions of the style you pick and keep the one that looks like them: $24 as a print-ready file in minutes, or on a stretched canvas from $49 with free US shipping.

How it works
Three steps, and you are never stuck with the first result.
Most portrait sellers send you one image and hope you like it. We send eight and let you decide.
STEP ONE
Send one photo
Any clear, well-lit photo where their face is visible. Phone photos are perfect. Dark coats are welcome — several of these styles are at their best on black dogs and cats.
STEP TWO
Pick a style
Eighteen to choose from — oil painting to single-line ink, royal robes to a Christmas morning. You see all eight versions of every style before you choose.
STEP THREE
Choose your favourite
Eight versions come back a few minutes later. Pick one and it is rendered at full print resolution and yours to download, as often as you like.
The part that matters
Eight versions. You pick the one that looks like them.
Every pet has an angle their owner recognises instantly. One render rarely finds it — so we run eight and hand you the choice. This is a real order.
The catalogue
Eighteen styles.
Each one is a distinct treatment, not a filter — the whole painting is rebuilt around your pet. Open any style to see all eight versions it gives you.
Samples of our own dog and cat. Boy or Girl changes the outfits on Renaissance Royal, Victorian Noble and Cowboy, and the crowns on Floral Crown. Yours is painted from your photo, and you choose the style after checkout.
02
Renaissance Royal
Your pet as royalty — crown, robes and all.
03
Watercolour
Soft, light and giftable — loose washes and colour splashes.
04
Memorial
A gentle tribute, with your pet's name and dates.
05
Graphite
A richly shaded pencil drawing — every whisker in soft graphite.

Victorian Noble
A distinguished 19th-century aristocrat portrait.
07
Modern Flat
Clean contemporary illustration for a modern home.
08
Stained Glass
Luminous jewel tones, like a cathedral window.

Bold, bright and impossible to miss.

Striking white linework on deep black — stunning on dark coats.

One Line Art
A single elegant unbroken line — understated and modern.

3D Animated
Your pet as a big-screen animated character.

Flat Cap Gangster
Tweed, a flat cap and a hard stare — 1920s style.

Minimal Name Print
Clean and modern, with their name above the portrait.

A flower or leaf crown made for them — eight different ones to choose from.
16

Eight different Halloween scenes, all starring them.
17
Christmas
Eight different Christmas scenes, all starring them.
18
Cowboy
Hat, bandana and open country — eight Western scenes.
Painted on our own pet. Choose this style after checkout and we paint your pet eight times like this, from your photo — then you pick your favourite.
On the wall
It stops being a file the moment it's on the wall.
Four of our styles, hung four ways, at four canvas sizes — each shown at its true size next to the furniture. Print the digital file and frame it however you like, or let us print and ship it stretched on canvas.
Frames are not included. Room settings, frames and mats are illustrative. Our canvases ship unframed — stretched over wooden bars, ready to hang as they are.
Where this comes from
Made with AI, and we would rather say so.
Plenty of shops selling work like this do not mention it. We think you should know exactly what you are buying before you buy it, not after.
What is ours. The eighteen styles, the wardrobes, the lettering, the framing rules and the review of every result. Getting a portrait to keep your pet's actual face — the amber eyes, the crooked ear — took months of work that does not show on the surface.
What is the machine's. The image itself is generated, using your photo as the subject. It is not a traditional painting or a pencil drawing made by a person, and no one at Gesso & Fur sat down with a brush. That is the honest description.
Pricing
Build your order. Pay once.
How many pets, digital or canvas, and any extra styles — the total and what you save are on screen before you pay. One payment, a code for every pet, nothing recurring.
No style to pick here — you choose it after checkout, with all eight versions of every style in front of you. Browse the eighteen styles.
1 How many pets?
First pet $24 · each additional pet $14. Every pet gets their own portrait: any style, eight versions to choose from.
2 Digital file, or printed canvas?
Every size is a real stretched matte canvas — no framing needed. Shipped within the United States. Pick a size:
3 Extra styles optional
A second style of the same pet, delivered as a digital file — not a canvas — for $14 instead of $24, because their photo and proofs are already made. Use it on whichever pet you like once you have seen them all.
Questions
Before you send a photo.
What makes a good photo?
One clear, well-lit shot where the face is visible and the eyes are open, ideally taken at your pet's eye level. A phone photo is fine. Very dark or very blurry photos limit what any portrait style can do — the source photo drives everything.
My dog is black. Will that work?
Yes, and better than you would expect. Scratch Art, Graphite and Pop Art are all stronger on dark coats — scratchboard is white line scraped out of black, so a black dog is its native subject.
Can you add their name?
Yes, on two styles. Memorial letters the name, and dates if you want them, under the portrait. Minimal Name Print sets the name above your pet. You type it when you upload the photo, and every version is checked against what you typed before you see it, because a misspelt name on a wall is forever.
I have more than one pet. Do I pay twice?
No. Set the number of pets in the order builder above and pay once. The first pet is $24 and each additional pet is $14 — the saving is shown before you pay. You get a separate code for each pet, and your session page lets you move between them.
What if I want two styles of the same pet?
Add an extra style in the builder ($14 — their photo and style proofs are already made) and it is waiting for you once the first portrait is done, with nothing more to pay. If you decide later, the same $14 offer appears after you finish.
How long does it take?
Minutes, not days. The eight versions come back while you wait, and your final file downloads as soon as you have chosen.
Can I get a refund?
Because each portrait is made to order from your photo, it cannot be returned once it has been generated. If something has genuinely gone wrong, email support@gessoandfur.com — we would much rather fix it.
Where do you ship canvases, and what does shipping cost?
Within the United States, and shipping is free on orders of $49 and over. The smallest canvas is $49, so every canvas order ships free. Canvases are made to order and arrive in about 1–2 weeks, printing and shipping included. The digital portrait has no such limit — it downloads anywhere in the world, and you're welcome to print it locally.
What canvas sizes are there, and how much are they?
8 × 10″ $49, 11 × 14″ $59, 12 × 16″ $69, 16 × 20″ $89, 18 × 24″ $99, 24 × 36″ $139 and 30 × 40″ $199. Each is a stretched matte canvas, ready to hang, with the digital file included and free shipping within the US.
Do you own my photo?
No. Send a photo you took or own, and it stays yours. We use it to make your portrait and nothing else.
Your pet already looks like a painting.
