Dalmatian Art
Dalmatian art is the easiest brief in this catalogue and the easiest to ruin. The coat is the most graphic in the species, and it only survives if the photo is exposed for the white rather than the background. Get that right and the spots keep their edges, in the pattern your own dog wears rather than a scattering invented to look right.
Bred to run beside a coach all day, and it shows in a house with no coach in it. Dalmatians are energetic, a little mad, and permanently looking for something to run next to. The graphic coat means the simplest compositions often work best, because nothing needs adding. As a gift it suits somebody who already knows their dog is the most recognisable one on the street.

Frequently asked questions about Dalmatian portraits
Are the spots on the portrait my dog's actual spots?
Yes, taken from your photo. The pattern is as individual as a fingerprint and no two Dalmatians share one, which is exactly why inventing them would be obvious to the owner and nobody else.
Why do my photos lose the spot edges?
Overexposure. A camera reading a mostly white dog tends to brighten it further, and once the white clips, the boundary between spot and coat softens. Expose a step down and the edges come back.
My Dalmatian has liver spots rather than black. Is that supported?
Yes. Liver and black are both standard, and the portrait follows your photo. Liver reads noticeably warmer and pairs differently with a coloured background, which is worth knowing when picking a style.
Which styles suit a coat this graphic?
Colour Field and Pop Quad, because both are graphic themselves and the spots become part of the design rather than fighting it. The Pilot is the popular alternative, for the coaching and fire-house association.
