Oh Barney's custom dog portraits: full pricing and options.

What affects the price

Size: larger portraits cost more. Moving from A4 to A3 to A2 increases the price at each step because there's more surface area for the artist to work with and, in the case of printed and framed options, more material cost.

Format: digital is the most affordable, printed sits in the middle, framed is the highest price point. The price difference reflects what you're getting: the framed option includes the mat, frame and presentation.

Number of dogs: a portrait of two or three dogs requires more work from the artist than a single-dog portrait, so prices reflect that.

Rush delivery: if applicable, expedited turnaround typically adds a fee.

What's included

Every portrait includes the artist illustration from your photo and a review process so you can confirm you're happy before the final version is produced. Specific revision policy and turnaround times are confirmed at the time of ordering. Delivery costs depend on your location and the format ordered.

Is a custom dog portrait worth it?

The honest comparison: a custom dog portrait in the A3 range costs roughly the same as a good dinner out, a decent piece of framed wall art from a homewares store, or a mid-range gift you'd order without thinking about it. The difference is that a generic piece of wall art has nothing to do with your dog. The portrait is a specific, permanent version of the dog you actually have.

For that, the price holds up well. The photo guide has a checklist for making sure the photo you submit gives the artist the best starting point.

Which format is the best value?

For display: framed is the most complete option. There's no additional cost or effort to get it on the wall.

For gifting: printed works well if the recipient already has a frame they love, or wants to choose one. Framed works if you want to hand them something completely finished.

For digital use or reprinting: the digital file gives you the most flexibility.

See the format comparison guide for the full breakdown.

Size and price

The size guide explains which size suits which purpose. If you're not sure whether A3 or A2 is right, that's the place to start.
