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, watercolor paper, and a zip-up pouch.

Addie Stunkard

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).

What a fun morning!

This class exceeded my expectations. The teacher did a great job of teaching the basic skills we needed to paint a successful watercolor portrait, and also left time for us to do it during the class period. I think it was better paced for me, as an adult, than for my kids, who were the initial gift recipients, but it was totally worth it. I was so happy with my results!

Great experience!

I received this for Mothers Day. It was the perfect gift. 2 hours of learning a new craft - watercolor painting. It was not only educational, but so fun too. The class moves at a fast pace, and is just enough instruction to feel confident dabbling more. For reference, I've done self taught drawings and other crafts but never watercolor painting. I would definitely recommend this class and instructor, Addie. I can't remember the name of the uncommon host but she was fabulous too.

Amazing Experience!

This experience made watercolor accessible! I've always watched videos and wanted to play around, but this hands on experience was perfect to force me out of my head and onto a piece of paper! LOVED!

Phenomenal Class - Can't Wait to Gift to Others

Purchased this for my partner after our beloved dog passed. Decided to purchase one for him and one for myself so we could do the class together. We were blown away by this class. The event host and the artist were both so incredibly kind and lovely, the class flowed well, we learned so much, and we were blown away seeing our pets come to life on the page. We can't wait to keep practicing and gift this class to others! Highly recommend!

Fantastic Class!

I received this class as Christmas gift. I have not done watercolor painting before. The instructor was fantastic and covered techniques and tricks and guided us through painting our pet. It was a very relaxed class with people from all over the U.S. participating. I learned so much and ended up with a beautiful watercolor painting of my dog, Lucy. Thank you, Addie, for a wonderful class!

I learned a lot in two hours!

I have always wanted to learn how to paint in watercolors. Learning how combined with painting a portrait of my dog was a win-win for me. I just didn't know how it would be possible in just two hours, but Addie was a great teacher. Our host was really fun, making it a relaxed yet informative class that I'd recommend to any aspiring or experienced artists.

What a lovely experience! Top notch. The instructions were easy to follow and though I'm not artistic, I felt my portrait came out pretty good. Definitely a confidence boost!

Good overall class but would like diff animals

The example was a pit bull with smooth hair. Most people in the class had furry cats or dogs with longer hair. Otherwise, fun.

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?
