Join us to create your own, one-of-a-kind acrylic pet portrait on canvas, done in a colorful style inspired by American Pop Artist Andy Warhol. No artistic experience is necessary!

We begin with a short lesson about painting techniques with 3 different brush types. Then, we'll walk you through each step of the process - from transferring your pet's image to the canvas with graphite, to painting the background, to painting the main features of your pet, to the final finishing details. We will use vibrant, non-toxic acrylic paints. All art materials will be provided.

Before the class begins, we will need you to email us a high-resolution digital photo of your pet. Uncropped, full-body shots or face shots with uncluttered backgrounds work best. Also, pictures with good contrast work well. Please email pandamai@pmbq.com if you have any questions about photo choice and guidance, Mai is happy to help you.
