Watch your custom watercolor portrait of your pet commission being hand-painted LIVE on Youtube, in a contemporary, expressive style by CJ Miyamoto.
Each portrait is created from your reference photo and interpreted through a balance of warm and cool washes, subtle line work, and painterly texture. Rather than copying a photograph exactly, the goal is to capture presence, character, and emotional weight — the quiet moment that makes your pet them.
This style is ideal for dogs, cats, and companion animals, offering a modern fine-art approach that feels both personal and timeless.
