The Experience

You know and love every inch, whisker, and adorable quirk of your pet. That's why—even without drawing skill or art experience—you're the best artist to paint their portrait. Yes, really. Join artist Jennifer Funnell for a live virtual class where you’ll learn how to create a painting of your best bud that’ll be worthy of a fancier-than-the-fridge display.

  • Using a black-and-white printer paper photo of your pet, you’ll work in pencil to transfer (not trace) the outline onto watercolor paper.
  • Jennifer will demonstrate basic painting techniques and you’ll put them into practice right away as you color in your portrait.
  • You’ll probably complete your masterpiece during class, but you may want to leave time afterwards to brush in those finishing touches.

Class length: 2 hours
We suggest: Skip a trip to the craft store and add our optional Watercolor Paint Kit, Set of 36 Colors to your purchase of this class; in addition to the paints, it comes with 10 art brushes and watercolor paper.

About

"Teaching drawing and painting is wonderful," says Jennifer Funnell. "Because it brings so many people joy and purpose." As a visual arts instructor in the Denver, Colorado area for more than ten years, Jennifer believes in nurturing a creative environment where anyone can grow as an artist, no matter where they're starting from. "My favorite moments are when people are so overjoyed to be making the type of art they never thought possible," she says, adding, "It's such an exciting thing!"

You'll need a watercolor palette with eight to twelve colors, a 140-lb watercolor cold-pressed paper, one large and one small round brush, a black-and-white printed photo of your pet on a regular printer paper (Make sure you have this before class. The size of the print will be the size of your finished painting), a pencil, some paper towels, a cup for water, and a hair dryer (to dry watercolor layers quickly). If you'd like, you can make a playlist to listen to while you draw and paint (with your Zoom muted during class).
