๐ธ Photo Guidelines
When you book, you’ll upload your animal photo - we’ll pre-sketch it on your canvas before class.
Please submit your final choice photo (that’s what we’ll use)
If you’re unsure, reply to your confirmation email with extra photos
- we’ll help you choose the best fit
The clearer the photo, the easier to paint
Best angles: animal facing forward or at a 3/4 turn, looking up or forward. Sleeping pets are fine, but curled-up pets may need cropping so the face is large enough to paint.
Dogs: usually chest-up looks best (unless they’re small)
Cats: often we can fit 3/4 or even the whole body
We will message you if we see an issue or need another photo.
Other Animals: We will crop where it feels best to fit the canvas as each animal is unique
๐จ Backgrounds & Extras
No pressure to decide your background until class
You can keep it simple or have fun!
Options include:
Solid or neutral colors
Vibrant, gradient fade, or rainbow, your choice!
Soft environments like grass or clouds
(no elaborate scenery - focus is on the animal)
Extras you can request when booking (we’ll pre-sketch them in):
Sunglasses, bandanas, collars with names, devil horns, a special toy, halos, etc.
Pet’s name or paw prints in the background, are fun - too! ๐พ
(Some last-minute ideas can also be added the day of class - don’t stress!)
