Pet/Animal Classes
Can I paint more than one animal/pet on my canvas?
Given the time frame of the class, I recommend 1 pet per canvas. You are more than welcome to paint 2 pets.
-If both pets are in the same photo - NO extra charge
-If I have to combine 2 photos it is an ADDITIONAL $10 (bring cash to class)
* I don’t want you to feel rushed, please keep in mind that I also run monthly open studios, you are more than welcome to bring your painting to one of those to finish
What kind of photo should I send?
Photos need to be clear, in-focus & good lighting. The best photo will be chosen. If you have a preference please let me know when you send the photos
Can I bring my pet?
I recommend leaving your pet at home or make arrangements for their care
Please note that you are going to be focused on painting, a pet can be distracting (especially if everyone brought their pet)
*at the Sedona Studio location, I have 2 cats on location that do not get along with dogs
Can I bring my child to the class?
You are more than welcome to purchase a seat for your child to paint their pet. I recommend kids 10 & older for attending a regular class. If your kid is not going to participate in class, please make arrangements for childcare during the class, so you can concentrate on painting, and have a bit of YOU time.
Can my friend come & watch?
Only paid students are allowed in class.
Can I bring my own brushes/supplies?
Yes, please do
Will you work with an organization or animal shelter I am affiliated with?
