WKSVS20250627 | 10 Spots Available | $40 + Tax
Discover the Joy of Oil Painting Through Pet Portraits
This 3.5-hour workshop is designed to guide you through creating a pet portrait painting using oil or water-based oil paints. It begins with a brief drawing demonstration, followed by a step-by-step painting process. For example, different ways to start and develop the work.
With plenty of one-on-one guidance, we’ll work together to identify areas for improvement and offer helpful suggestions. My approach is straightforward and effective with a goal to support you in reaching a new level in your work while providing ideas for continued artistic growth. As a self-taught artist, I’ve learned many valuable techniques over the years, and I’m excited to share them with you!

While we’ll provide a reference image, you’re also welcome to bring your own pet photo to paint in class. Learn essential tips and techniques to help you create a portrait that’s uniquely yours.
