FAQ - Sedona In-Person Workshop

I’ve never painted before, but this looks fun. Can I really paint like the paintings in your photos?

Yes, you can!! With the 15+ years of experience, Lovejoy has a very simple, and logical method to follow while allowing you the freedom to add your own style. Perfect for first-time & beginner painters. Lovejoy’s teaching style is very encouraging, you will impress yourself with what you create in 3 hours.

What kind of photo should I send?
The recommended subject for this workshop: Pet photo (most popular), or Animal/Wildlife Photo
Photos need to be clear, in-focus & good lighting. The best photo will be chosen & edited.
If you have a preference please let me know when you send the photos.
Preference to headshots and good lighting

Can I paint more than 1 pet?
Yes, you can. It is recommended to paint 1 pet per canvas, you are welcome to paint 2 pets on 1 canvas, you will just need to paint a little faster for the in-person workshop.
**When you send in your pet photos, if both pets are in the same photo, no extra charge, if 2 photos need to be edited, then it’s an additional $10 (bring to class - cash or Venmo)

What if I do not have a pet?

Not a problem, If you don’t have a pet or have painted all your pets you can paint your favorite animal. Any wildlife photo will work.
**The only “animal” you can not paint in the in-person workshop is a human portrait.

Where do I email the pet photos?
Please email your pet photos & order # to lovejoycreations@gmail.com

What is the labyrinth? What is a walking meditation?

A Spiritual Labyrinth symbolizes a journey to a predetermined destination (such as a pilgrimage to a holy site or a walking meditation going in a circle) There are various styles of labyrinths.

The Lovejoy Labyrinth is a spiritual labyrinth that you walk the path to the center. Set your intention/gratitude and then walk the same path back out. It symbolizes going to your center and then back out. The journey of creativity is very similar to walking the labyrinth, each artist must get in touch with their center and then create their art.

When you walk the labyrinth you are encouraged to walk slowly and focus on your breathing, or on a mantra or word. By walking in this manner it is a walking meditation.

The spiritual labyrinth at the studio, was established in 2006 by Lovejoy’s mom. There are years of wonderful healing energy in this labyrinth.
