What are the 6 portrait styles available for a dog?

At Kinico, in the dog category, your photo can be transformed into six distinct artistic styles:

  • Pastel Watercolor: soft, washed-out tones, perfect for a tender, poetic mood.
  • Golden Watercolor: the softness of watercolor enhanced with golden touches, for a warm, luminous result.
  • Japanese Ink: a clean, graphic line, very elegant, highlighting the shape of the muzzle and eyes.
  • Botanical: your dog surrounded by delicate plant motifs, ideal for a nature-inspired interior.
  • Black Gold: a dark background elevated with gold, sophisticated and contemporary.
  • Prism: modern plays of color and facets, for an original, vibrant portrait.

How do I choose a style based on my dog's personality?

A playful, affectionate dog pairs well with Pastel or Golden Watercolor, which convey tenderness. A proud or noble dog stands out with Japanese Ink or Black Gold, more graphic. For an energetic companion, Prism adds movement and color. Botanical suits a gentle dog, tied to nature.

Which style best matches my decor?

For a bright, Scandinavian interior, go for Pastel Watercolor or Japanese Ink, both light and airy. A warm, cozy living room welcomes Golden Watercolor beautifully. A modern or minimalist decor works with Black Gold and Prism. Finally, the Botanical style blends into leafy, bohemian settings.
