Gordon Setter portrait questions

Will the portrait really look like my Gordon Setter?

Every Gordon Setter portrait starts with an identity passport built from your photos: the exact silky, flat, feathered coat, the black and tan colouring, the ear set and the eye colour. The finished painting is then compared back against your originals and repainted if it drifts, so what arrives is your Gordon Setter rather than a generic one.

My Gordon Setter has unusual markings — can you keep them?

Unusual markings are the part we protect hardest. Bred at a castle and carrying a duke's name, this dog already has the pedigree for a formal noble portrait. A split face, an odd sock, a freckled nose or a scar all get listed in the identity passport and checked one by one in the likeness review.

Which photos work best for a Gordon Setter portrait?

The best Gordon Setter photo is unglamorous: natural light, camera at their height, nothing covering the face. Long and layered coats look best when light comes from the side. Two or three photos from slightly different angles beat one perfect portrait.

Which styles suit a Gordon Setter best?

You can pick freely. We highlight three because a large dog with confident, loyal energy fills those particular scenes naturally, while others can crowd or swamp the subject.
