Turn your favorite furry (or scaled or feathered!) friend into a one-of-a-kind work of art in this fun, beginner-friendly acrylic painting workshop.

Before class, simply submit a favorite photo of your pet, and your instructor will prepare a custom sketch on an 8" × 10" canvas. During the workshop, you'll learn step-by-step acrylic painting techniques to bring your pet's personality to life through color, texture, and expressive details. With individualized instruction and a small class size, you'll receive plenty of guidance while enjoying a relaxed, creative evening with fellow animal lovers.

This is meant to be FUN! No previous painting experience is required; just bring your love for your pet and a willingness to learn!

Registration includes:

• One pre-sketched 8" × 10" canvas

• Acrylic paints, brushes, and all painting supplies

• Step-by-step instruction

• Individual guidance throughout the workshop
