๐Ÿ“ธ 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


๐ŸŽจ 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! ๐Ÿพ


(Some last-minute ideas can also be added the day of class - don’t stress!)



๐Ÿ“Œ Policies

Tickets: $80 per person

  • 2 painters minimum to schedule a session
  • No refunds or reschedules

(due to small class size, pre-sketching, and prep work)

โœจ Just bring yourself, your drinks/snacks, and your creative spirit - we’ll handle the rest! โœจ
