Love your pet to pieces? Now you can celebrate them in a custom portrait you paint yourself! In this 2-hour beginner-friendly pet portrait painting class, you’ll create a colorful canvas of your furry friend with step-by-step guidance from experienced local artists.
Here’s how it works: when you register, you’ll submit a photo of your pet. The artists at EAC will break down the image, design the composition, and hand-sketch it onto your canvas for you. That means your sketch will be waiting when you arrive, so you can jump right into the fun part and start painting!
Your friendly instructor will walk you through each step, from blocking in colors to adding the little details that capture your pet’s personality, like those adorable eyes and that signature fluffy fur.
Gather a friend or partner and make it a night out! Bring your favorite bottle of wine or another beverage and enjoy a relaxed, social evening of painting together. It’s the perfect creative date idea, low-key birthday idea, or girls’ night out.
You’ll leave with a custom pet portrait you’ll be proud to hang on your wall or give as a heartfelt gift for a fellow pet parent!
