Custom Samoyed Portrait Made From Your Photo
Samoyeds are walking clouds with a permanent smile. Their profuse double coat of pure white or biscuit, combined with their upturned mouth corners (the famous 'Sammy smile'), dark almond eyes, and plumed tail curled over the back, makes them one of the most photogenic - and paintable - breeds on earth.
What does a custom Samoyed portrait include?
A custom Samoyed portrait from Pet on Canvas is made from your photo and starts at $24.99 (under $30) for a high-resolution digital portrait; gallery-wrapped Custom Canvases start at $49.99 and include the digital file.

What makes Samoyed portraits special?
A Samoyed portrait is bright and joyful: a wedge-shaped head, erect ears, dark eyes, and the famous upturned mouth, the Sammy smile, set in a cloud of white. The happy expression is non-negotiable.
The coat is the defining craft problem, a thick, profuse white double coat that stands off the body and forms a huge ruff. White on white needs blue, grey, and cream shadows to keep volume and form. A photo in soft daylight keeps the coat from blowing out to a flat shape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Samoyed Portraits
How do you paint a Samoyed's thick white coat with depth?
Samoyeds have a spectacular double coat - a dense, soft undercoat under a straight, harsh outer coat that stands away from the body. Our artists render the depth and volume of the coat using subtle shadows in cool blue and gray tones, showing the three-dimensional structure while maintaining the pristine whiteness.
How do you capture the Samoyed smile in a portrait?
The Sammy smile is a genuine anatomical feature - the upturned corners of the mouth prevent drool in cold conditions and give them that perpetually happy expression. Our artists render the mouth line carefully to preserve that characteristic smile that makes every person who sees a Samoyed smile back.
