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 Oklahoma artist Addie Stunkard 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.
  • Addie 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

Growing up in a large family surrounded by music and art, Addie Stunkard always knew she wanted to be an artist. She studied watercolor painting and illustration at Oklahoma State and after a stint in marketing, she launched her graphic design business. Along with her design work, she shares her passion for art by teaching. "I feel like painting can be seen as such an intimidating concept," she says. "My goal is for someone who's never picked up a brush before to walk away with something beautiful."

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).

So much fun!

I purchased this class for me and my Mom, who lives in a different state, to do together. The time absolutely flew by. It was so much fun, and the instructor was great!! I highly recommend. This was my first painting class ever, and I look forward to continuing to explore the medium. It was so engaging and relaxing. I didn't finish the paining during the class time, but continued to work on it afterwards.

Really enjoyed this class!

I am an absolute beginner with very limited experience with watercolors and I learned so much. I need practice but I think my first painting of my cat is adorable! The directions were easy to follow, the pacing was perfect. The instructor allowed plenty of time for practice and questions.

No experience needed! Great teacher!

Had a great time in the Watercolor Pet Portrait Painting Class! Addie was very informative and walks you through it all! I have zero experience with painting and I think I did a pretty decent job!

Great way to spend a cold Saturday in January

We really enjoyed the class! Addie was great about walking us through each part of the process and come away with some new skills along with an amazing painting!

Fun experience

Fun class and good instruction! Great set-up with having the host and instructor help throughout the class. The only disappointment was I bought the kit and thought it would have what I needed but it only came with small pieces of paper. It should be clearer what additional materials are needed.

Second time purchase and just as great!

I got an email about a #sweepstakes I can enter for leaving a review, and I'll gladly leave some good words for this class! My sister and I bought this class a few years ago for my mother's birthday, and then I bought one for my father for this past Christmas! Before, we painted portraits of our three dogs. Since then, we've added a cat to the family. He clearly needed a portrait as well! The instruction is very easy to follow. I loved helping my parents out and learning watercolor techniques. The zoom option also makes the class very flexible and convenient to choose a time that works for everyone. For this class, my dad followed along and painted a portrait of our cat. My mom also painted a cat portrait to participate in the activity with him. I used the watercolor techniques to paint my own sketch of all our pets. We all had a lot of fun! Now to hang all our beautiful paintings we created with the help of this Uncommon Experience!

Great class, results in appropriate amount of time

The 2 hour water color class was awesome. We started the first hour learning technique, which was super helpful for me as a complete water color newbie. The rest of the time was spent actually creating our pet portrait. The host amd the artist were both responsive to questions, welcoming, and encouraging.

Hi, I see that it is listed as age 16+ for this pair your pet experience but we found it under "kids" section. Is it possible for middle / elementary school age kids?

Verified reply from Jen

Yes! The class Sit, Fetch, Purr, Paint: Paint Your Pet can be used with middle/elementary kids we just ask that a parent is present during the class.
