Workshop | Paint Your Pet Portrait

This will be a guided class using acrylic paints on canvas to turn your cherished pet into a work of art!

Artist Colleen Thompson will be spearheading a custom, step-by-step, pet portrait workshop. This will be a guided session using acrylic paints on canvas to turn your pup into a work of art.

How it works:

Guests who register will simply send a photo* of their pet (dog, cat, bird, & more!) to colleenthompsonart@gmail.com once the registration is complete. When they arrive the day of the workshop, they'll receive a 16 x 20 inch canvas of their pet sketched and ready to be painted. Colleen will be breaking down the process so that you will leave with painting knowledge as well as a unique painting of your cherished pet. This is a great way to learn about painting fundamentals and also achieve an amazing result. Colleen will be available for one on one assistance throughout the workshop.

Other notes:

Feel free to bring a snack or drink for a break.

*This workshop is for ONE pet - head, and shoulder portrait per canvas.

$110 per student. All materials provided, including a sketched portrait of your pet on a canvas ready to paint.

There is a maximum of 10 spots available and the deadline to register is end of day Wednesday, May 6th (to allow enough time for portrait prep). Register soon to reserve your space!
