Christy Studios Pets – Custom Hand Painted Portraits of your pets

Home

Watercolor and mixed media paintings of pets. “Christy, how long have you been painting?” – “Since birth.?”, I say.

I started my watercolor career in Chicago by painting dogs, dogs and more dogs! – although I painted horses in my younger years. Dogs and Cats….then everything else followed. I love to use bright, unexpected colors to bring out the joy and life of each pet. Some say I paint their essence or soul. That they are happy that I am honoring them in such a delightful way. I feel that. It makes my heart happy when I can bring joy to humans by painting their furry companions.

Enjoy my galleries! Some of my creations are available in print form. I am ready to paint for you!

Choose Canvas or Paper

Watercolor Paper is a thick, textured paper. Christy uses 100lb cold press archival paper. You will have to frame this to protect and hang. She can give advice on framing but that is easier for you to do locally. (suggested for 5" x 7" and 8" x 10" sizes) Watercolor Canvas starts at 3/4" thick & can be 1 1/2" on the larger canvases. (standard is 3/4"). The painting is finished with a Clear UV protective spray lacquer & ready to hang. You can frame with an open back frame, but it is not necessary.

Painting and Proof

Christy may want to send sketches to make sure pose is correct but most of the time she just goes for it. You will be able to tell her what background colors you prefer, collar color, toys, nametag - any embellishments.
