overview

Our experience

I have always received great acclaim for traditional art. As mentioned in the intro, my dog ​​art is something hanging in my house! I don’t even know where to start for myself, so Instapainting was something I wanted to try.

I started by choosing the kind of painting I wanted, but all the mediums produce great work, but oil painting is something I want to use to capture the personality of my puppy. I also planned to provide a very colorful reference image that matches my home decor, so I really like how smooth and vibrant the medium is. Instapainting made the ordering process much simpler and gave us some options to choose from.

The options I selected are:

Once the order was placed, I received an email from Instapainting so that several artists could choose to offer their own style of painting. Once the artist entered the artist and studio response page, I was able to scroll through all of them, view the portfolio and see if I would like to add whether to use or not.

Instapainting automatically emphasized that the artist felt that it was the best fit for my standards. After selecting Peter, communication began. He asked me if he had any requests, if I wanted to adjust the size of the painting to fit the composition, etc. I found Peter to be very communicative and the platform was easy to use.

I liked this practical approach, but my only minor criticism is that I didn’t know this would be a process. Based on the website, I didn’t understand the fact that you should wait for artists to apply, and you have to spend time choosing them. This lengthened the painting process as I thought Instapainting would automatically match me with someone and the painting had already started. If I had missed their email, I would have been confused as to why there was no progress!

At the midpoint of the process, Peter sent me a photo of the painting he had done. From here, Instapainting has created an incredible platform and has better explained to artists what changes you may want. I was fortunate enough to like what Peter did and did not request a change. However, for those who want to make changes, InstaPainting allows you to create annotations and make adjustments very clear to the artist.

When I thought the painting was finished, I marked it on the website and told Peter it was ready! He replied that the painting would be shipped as soon as it dries. This process took him seven days to ship it. I definitely wasn’t in a hurry, but please be aware that this could add a considerable amount of time to the ordering process.

The paintings were packaged very carefully and with great care in the details, we made sure nothing was damaged in the process. I was by my side how much I love the art, it was absolutely beautiful! Peter’s brilliant capture of my dog’s expression and personality made it even more detailed. I quickly assemble the canvas and enjoy this gorgeous artwork thoroughly! I think my puppy might be the same too!

Pros and Cons

Important features

Various painting media

You can choose from the following media for your custom painting:

Choose your own artist

Instapainting has an extensive network of artists who submit bids for painting proposals after placing an order! These artists apply to Instapainting, which already shows the deep love and investment in creating custom pieces for the company’s customers. The artists come from all over the world, and many are based in Daffen Village. Dafen is well known for its community of artists specializing in oil painting.

The artist will submit after seeing your references, so you can be sure they are interested in what you want. You will see a list of artists offering you a portfolio, then you can select the artists with the style you like the most.

Fully customizable paint requests

Almost every aspect of the painting is fully customizable, from size to number of subjects. You can also adjust the methodology used to create the painting (whether it’s exactly like the reference, or need a little more creative freedom). You can also leave notes to the artist about what you want to add or change, and maintain full communication.

That being said, since this is a painting, there are limitations and the artist will let you know them.

About Instapainting

InstapaintingIs custom oil painting good value?

A short answer? Yes, definitely!

A long answer? Instapainting is a good value in two important ways.

First, if you’ve ever tried to get custom paint for your pet, you probably know how complicated the process is. You find artists and hope they know how to run a business professionally. For these types of paintings, the waiting times can be very long. Instapainting has a huge network of artists who connect and take full responsibility for you. So, all of the above is no longer part of the process. Simplicity is incredibly valuable!

Secondly, custom artwork can be expensive. I’m absolutely there for artists who recharge what their work thinks is appreciated, but this can make art impossible for many people. Instapainting keeps prices very affordable and offers payment plans available.

Testing method

I went to the Instapainting website and went through the process of ordering custom oil paintings for my puppy Lorelei. It relates to this:

I then received the painting by mail and compared it to the evidence of the artist I received digitally!

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can I use custom sizes?

yes! If the required size is not listed in the options list, you can request a custom size.

Can I paint multiple pets on the same canvas?

absolutely! You can paint up to seven pets, ranging from an additional $21 to $260. The more pets you need to paint, the larger the size of the painting you have to choose.

Is a mobile phone quality photo sufficient?

The clearer the image, the better it is, but the photos on your phone are perfectly fine. These photos are for artist reference only so you can see what your pet looks like.

What if you don’t like the drawing?

Instapainting holds artists to a high standard, so frequent communication and proofreading of the painting is required before the finished product is shipped. If you have problems with the process or if the picture you received does not match the quality you showed, Instapainting customer support will be happy to help.
