Studio comfort with snacks and drinks
The class is staged as a relaxed, social session where participants may bring a light snack and a favorite beverage; alcohol consumption is permitted with proper ID. Aprons are provided so you can work freely without worrying about spills.
From photo to finished 16x20 acrylic
You’ll work from a pet photo—best if printed in color on an 8.5×11 sheet—sketching and then painting under instructor guidance. Instruction begins promptly at the start time and all paints, aprons and a take-home 16x20 acrylic canvas are included.
Short, guided, and capacity-limited
This compact, instructor-led session lasts 1.5 hours and is capped at 20 participants—space is limited, so arrive early to settle in and secure your spot.

What the class feels like
The mood leans social and hands-on: you arrive a little early, fasten an apron, set up your printed photo and settle into guided steps that move quickly from sketch to blocks of color to finishing touches. With an artist leading the room, the pace is brisk—painting instruction starts at the posted time—and everyone leaves with a personal, gallery-sized canvas.
