Capture the soul of your beloved pet on an 11x14 canvas in this fun, step-by-step painting workshop - no experience needed! Each canvas will be pre-sketched by hand from your own pet photo, so all you have to do is paint. Using acrylic paints and expert one-on-one instruction, you’ll go home with a one-of-a-kind portrait you’ll be proud of.
Whether you’re creating a heartfelt gift for a fellow pet lover, honoring a pet angel, or celebrating your favorite animal - this workshop is meaningful, joyful, and perfect for all skill levels. One pet per canvas.
Photos must be submitted to hello@artandsoulpets.com by July 15, 2026 (last day to register).
All supplies included in your ticket.
