In this Paint your Pet workshop, students will create a vibrant portrait of their beloved pet on a letter-sized wooden panel using eco-friendly, plant-based acrylic paints. Starting from a photograph, participants will learn the complete process of pet portrait painting, from image transfer to final details.
Students will discover essential techniques including:
– Transferring an image onto a wooden surface
– Building foundational colors and basic forms
– Mixing colors to achieve the perfect shades
– Creating volume through light and shadow
– Adding final details that capture their pet’s unique personality
By the end of the class, each student will have completed their own pet portrait, gaining fundamental skills in portrait painting while creating a meaningful piece of art that celebrates their furry friend.
All materials are provided, including sustainable acrylic paints and a prepared wooden panel.
Participants should bring a printed color photo of their pet (letter size – 8.5″ x 11″) that clearly shows the face. If possible, please also bring additional photos on your phone or tablet.

No previous painting experience or art studies are required.
Ages 6+years with an adult, or 8+years welcome!
