Special Paint Your Pet Art Party

Sale tickets, Frequent Painters tickets and other special offers may not be used toward this event.

Ever wanted to capture your beloved furry (or feathered friend) on canvas? Well, now you can at our "Paint Your Pet" event.  These classes will work a little differently than our regular events.  Please see details below.

How it Works:
Participants will register for this class here.  Class size will be limited to 12 so register early! Once your spot is confirmed you will email photos of your pet to Kristina---at least 7 days before the event. Kristina will prep each participants canvas with an outline drawing of your pet giving you a head start at the event.  Only one pet per portrait please. UPDATE: We are now offering 2 pets per canvas for $75.

Step One: Send us a Photograph
Please send a close-up photo of your pet (preferably head and neck only). Your painting will only be as good as the photo you are working from so be sure to read the photography tips below and send us a clear, well lit, close-up photo of your pet. When in doubt, send a few photos to choose from.

Send photos to: kristina@monadnockart.com

Step Two: Make sure to bring your photograph/s to the event!
You may bring your photos on your smartphone or a printed copy. This is what you will be working from.

Tips for Photographing your Pets:
If you do not have good current photographs, take more! The beauty of digital cameras or smartphones is you can easily take a bunch of pictures.

Take the photo at eye level, crouch down to get at their level.

Take the photo in good light (cant stress this enough). Outside is ideal.

Avoid using the flash. It produces red eye and bleaches out the colors of the fur.

Most photos look good when your pet is alert with the ears pricked forward. Let their personality show!

If you are painting a pet that has passed away we will work with what photos you have. Send as many as you can.

At the Event:
Kristina will provide tips and instructions on pet portraiture as well as be available for individual help. The class will take between 2 to 3 hours. Remember, these portraits will be painting in a whimsical, simple style (please don't expect to create a photo realistic portrait) which will make it easy to finish in the allotted time and will let your pets personality show!
Remember to bring your photos to the class!
