What you will get

A loose watercolour portrait of your pet with soft washes in your colours, a few splashes, white paper left around the edges and a gentle pencil outline, keeping its markings, eye colour and expression.

Common mistake

Stripes, patches or a white blaze move to the wrong place.

Fix: Describe them: “white stripe down the nose, left ear black, a brown patch over the right eye”. Check them against your photo.

Also watch for

It looks like a digital filter, not paint. Ask for “visible paper grain, washes that bleed into one another, uneven edges and a few loose pencil lines”.
The eyes lose their colour and the expression goes flat. Say “eyes the exact amber of the photo, with a small white highlight, kept detailed while the rest stays loose”.

Try a variation: pen and ink

Ask for “a fine pen and ink drawing, with a single wash of colour on the nose and ears only”. It is quieter and prints well on a card.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the markings I described, make the paint look like real watercolour with paper grain and uneven edges, and keep the eyes detailed in their true colour.
