Irish Wolfhound portrait questions

Will the portrait really look like my Irish Wolfhound?

Every Irish Wolfhound portrait starts with an identity passport built from your photos: the exact rough, wiry coat, the gray, brindle, wheaten 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 Irish Wolfhound rather than a generic one.

My Irish Wolfhound has unusual markings — can you keep them?

Unusual markings are the part we protect hardest. Legends were written about dogs like this, so let its portrait feel every bit as mythic. 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 Irish Wolfhound portrait?

Daylight, eye level, face clearly visible — that is genuinely enough. With a rough, wiry coat, avoid harsh overhead light so the markings stay visible. One straight-on photo plus one slight angle gives the studio everything it needs.

Which styles suit a Irish Wolfhound best?

Any style works, though character matters. A Irish Wolfhound tends to be gentle, dignified, so the three recommended above tend to land best — the scene supports the dog rather than competing with them.

How fast will I get my Irish Wolfhound portrait?

Digital portraits are usually finished the same day — often inside an hour. Prints only go to press once you have approved the take you want, and reach US addresses in roughly a week to a week and a half.
