Start with the room

Tell us the scene. We build it around your dog.

04The scene you have in mind

0 of 1200

What a good brief sounds like
  • A snowy chalet porch at dusk, lanterns lit, him asleep in a sheepskin chair.
  • A sunlit Lisbon balcony in June, blue tiles, washing on the line, her watching the street.
  • A library at night, green lamp, walls of books, him on the desk where he is not allowed.

Anything that shows us the look

Optional. A photo of the room, a picture you have saved, a color you love. Up to 3.

05Tell us about your dog (or dogs)

How many dogs are in this one?

Up to 3 dogs in 1 piece. It is the only canvas where dogs share a scene, because the room is composed around them.

Names and weights are optional. The weight helps us get each dog’s size right in the scene.

06Add your dog’s photos

Choose 2 to 8 clear photos. With 2 or 3 dogs, send photos of each.

    JPG, PNG or HEIC. Up to 18 MB per photo.

    The story behind the scene

    A room that does not
    exist yet.

    A scene that does not exist yet. You describe the room, we build it from scratch, and your dog goes into it.

    You get 2 versions of your scene within 2 to 3 days, and you choose the one we finish. Then the same proof and the same unlimited free revisions before anything prints.

    Up to 3 dogs in 1 piece. It is the only canvas where dogs share a scene, because the room is composed around them.

    Specifications

    Every canvas is made to order, on the same materials whichever scene you choose.

    • Printed at full resolutionPigment ink, printed at the resolution the size you order calls for, not upscaled to fill it.
    • Canvas and stretcherCotton and polyester composite, matte, coated for pigment ink, stretched over kiln-dried wood bars. A frameless canvas is 0.75 in, and 1.25 in on the panoramic sizes deep.
    • Hand stretched and hand stapledEvery canvas is hand stretched over kiln-dried wood bars and hand stapled at the back, which is what keeps it taut and square for years instead of sagging.
    • Framed or framelessGallery wrapped with the image mirrored around the edge and no exposed staples, or set in a poplar wood floating frame 1.75 in deep, in Noir, Craie, Blond or Cacao. All 4 finishes are the same price.
    • Ready to hangHanging hardware is fitted before it ships. Nothing to buy and nothing to assemble.
    Sizes and dimensions
    • The size you choose is the size of the image. A framed piece sits inside a 1.75 in frame, so it stands a little further off the wall and its outer dimensions are marginally larger.
    • Dimensions are quoted in inches. A size written as 2 dimensions, such as 16 x 12 or 12 x 16, is made in both orientations and you tell us which you would like.
    Your proof, and approving it
    • You receive a digital proof of your dog in the scene you chose. You have 72 hours to approve it or ask for changes, and printing begins once it is approved. If we have not heard from you by then, we take that as your approval.
    • Revisions are unlimited and free. Ask for as many changes as it takes.
    • You have 72 hours after receiving your proof to approve it or ask for a change, and we send a reminder before that runs out. If we have not heard from you by then we take the silence as your approval and begin printing, so your canvas is not left waiting indefinitely.
    Refunds and replacements
    • Every canvas is made to order for your dog, so we cannot refund a change of mind once it is printed. Until you approve your proof, you can ask for as many changes as you like.
    • If it arrives damaged, misprinted, the wrong size or in the wrong frame, or anything else is not right, send us a photo within 72 hours of delivery and we’ll make it right, with a new canvas free of charge where needed.
    Shipping and delivery
    • Shipping is free in the US and included in the price.
    • Your Sur-Mesure starts with 2 versions of your scene to choose from. Once you have picked one, your proof follows, and the whole first stage takes 2 to 3 days.
    • Once you approve, printing and finishing take 2 to 3 days, then delivery takes 1 to 3 days. Approving quickly gets it to you sooner.
    • Each order ships to 1 address, so to send canvases to more than 1 person, place a separate order for each.
    • Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and outside the contiguous United States is arranged case by case. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm the cost and the timing for your address.
    Hanging and care
    • Start with the center of the artwork around 57 inches from the floor, which is where a gallery hangs it.
    • Above a sofa or a console, leave roughly 6 to 8 inches of breathing room between the furniture and the frame.
    • Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from steam. Dust it with a dry, soft cloth, and use no water and no cleaning product on the canvas surface.

    A little help choosing photos

    You do not need a studio shot. A few clear everyday photos are all we need, and you see a proof before anything is printed.

    Someone else in the photo? Send it anyway.

    Someone else in the photo? Send it anyway.

    Most of the best photos we receive have a person in them. We only use your dog. Everything else in the frame is left behind, so please do not skip a photo you love just because you are holding them in it.

    Works well

    • Daylight, near a window or outside
    • Their face clear and their eyes open
    • Taken down at their eye level
    • A few different angles, so we can read their markings
    • The original file from your camera roll

    Better avoided

    • Filters, or a photo you have already edited
    • A dark room, or a direct flash
    • Your dog small or far away in the frame
    • Sunglasses, costumes, or anything across their face
    • More than 1 dog in the same photo
    Good light, eye level, face easy to read.
    Works well Good light, eye level, face easy to read.
    Close and simple, with nothing across their face.

    Choose a canvas to give

    Short answers to what people ask most.

    A few things you may be wondering.

    Contact us
    Is the dog in the sample portraits the dog I will receive?

    No. The dogs shown are samples. Your canvas is composed with your own dog, from the photos you share with us.

    Will I see my artwork before it is printed?

    Yes. On Le Sur-Mesure you first receive 2 versions of your scene to choose from, then a proof of the one you pick. Request unlimited revisions before printing. You have 72 hours after receiving your proof to approve it or ask for changes. If we have not heard from you by then, we take that as your approval so your canvas is not left waiting.

    How many dogs can I include?

    Up to 3 on Le Sur-Mesure, because the scene is composed around them from the start. Every other scene is made for 1 dog.

    Is it a painting?

    No. It is a painting-style portrait printed on canvas, not a painting made with a brush. Each scene is built with AI tools and reviewed by a person, your dog is placed into it from your photos, and you approve a proof before it is printed on canvas in the USA. If you want brushstrokes made by hand, an independent portrait artist is the right choice. Read more: what you are actually buying.

    What kind of photo should I upload?

    A clear JPG, PNG or HEIC taken in natural light, at your dog’s eye level, is ideal. Make sure their face and markings are visible. Please share at least 2 photos, and up to 8. If there is more than 1 dog, send photos of each, and put each dog’s name in the file name.

    What if I change my mind?

    Each canvas is made for your dog alone, so we cannot refund a change of mind. Until you approve your proof, you can ask for as many changes as you like. If your canvas arrives damaged or misprinted, tell us within 72 hours of delivery and we’ll make you a new one, free of charge.

    Does it arrive ready to hang?

    Yes. Each canvas arrives with hanging hardware fitted. Choose a framed finish or a clean, frameless canvas.

    Can I give it as a gift?

    Yes. Choose a scene that suits their dog, send us the photos and approve the proof.

    All 9 remaining questions Show fewer questions
    Can I send canvases to different people in 1 order?

    1 order ships to 1 address, so canvases for 2 people means 2 orders. The artwork for each dog is made separately either way, so nothing is lost by splitting it.

    How long does it take?

    The 2 versions come back within 2 to 3 days. Once you choose 1 and approve the proof, printing and finishing take 2 to 3 days and delivery another 1 to 3 days. Most canvases arrive 5 to 9 days after the order, depending on how quickly you approve. The estimate on the product page is worked out for today.

    Can I choose framed or frameless at every size?

    Yes. Every size, panoramic included, is made both framed and frameless, in any of the 4 frame finishes.

    What happens at the edge of a frameless canvas?

    The artwork continues around the fold, mirrored, so the side of the canvas carries the scene rather than a blank border. Panoramic canvases are 1.25 inches deep and every other format is 0.75 inches.

    What are the 4 frame finishes?

    Noir, a matte black. Craie, a soft chalk white. Blond, a pale natural wood. Cacao, a deep warm brown. Each is a slim floating frame with a shadow gap between the frame and the canvas.

    What if it arrives damaged?

    Email us a photo within 72 hours of delivery and we’ll make you a new one, free of charge. This covers transit damage, print defects, the wrong size and the wrong frame.

    Can I order more than 1 size of the same scene?

    Yes. Each size is its own piece, so add them to your cart separately. The same approved artwork is used for all of them.

    Where do you ship?

    Shipping is free to the contiguous United States. We cannot yet ship canvases to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories or outside the United States through the website. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm the cost and the timing for your address.

    How should I look after it?

    Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from steam. Dust it with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use water or any cleaning product on the canvas surface.
