Oil portraits are painted on different stretched canvas types depending on whether you want an unframed contemporary look or a framed more conventional look.
Gallery Style stretched canvas is about 35mm deep and does not need framing.
Slimline Style stretched canvas is about 18mm deep and is recommended if you want to have your portrait framed because the framer will be able to offer you a wider selection of styles to choose from.
Both canvas styles are the same price. A simple portrait background is recommended as the best way to focus on your pet.
Framing

Framing is done by a professional framer. Pastels are framed with with double matt board and plain glass. (Unless otherwise specified by the client). You may see examples on my Framing page. Oils may be framed but do not need to be framed behind glass.
If appropriate a quote for packaging and post will be obtained.
I use only the highest quality archival materials in creating my portraits.
