How to use this prompt

Use this as a base and replace "golden retriever" with the specific breed. The traditional painted finish is perfect for memorial canvases. If the fur looks too smooth, add "visible brush texture, painterly fur strokes."

Variations to try

  • Cat portrait — "elegant long-haired cat, soft cream and grey, green eyes, regal pose"
  • Two pets — "golden retriever and tabby cat sitting side by side, matching warm background"
