Paint Your Pet Paint and Sip

Turn your favourite furry face into a canvas you will actually want to hang up. Paint Your Pet is our relaxed, people-first session where we slow the pace, give more one-on-one help, and celebrate the pets that run your household. We started these because we are besotted with our own Beagles, Penelope and Bert or kitty, Teddy, and nothing beats seeing someone paint their bestest mate.

I was watching a Tik Tok the other night and a person said, 'How can you be so in love with someone that you have never had a to and fro conversation with' and this hit home. We just love animals of all kinds so much. Let them live their best livesThose who dislike animals need to be taken somewhere and had a stern talking to and a few other things!

What it is at our Paint Your Pet sessions

A friendly, beginner-welcoming paint session that focuses on your pet’s portrait. You work on a larger canvas with time to add a simple background, patterns or colour blocks so the finished piece looks sharp on your wall. We take the time over a full 3 hours to do it slowly.

How it works

• Book a seat and email a clear photo of your pet at least 7 days before your session
• We lightly pre-sketch your pet onto a larger canvas so you begin with confidence
• We also print your photo for reference and place it on your easel
• On the day we guide you step by step and spend extra time at your table when needed
• You head home with a finished portrait and a grin

Why people love it

• Slower tempo with more individual attention than our party nights
• Techniques tailored to short, fluffy or wiry coats using different brushes
• Simple methods for eyes, noses and highlights that bring the face to life
• Ages 12 and up, welcoming for families and first-timers

What you will learn

• Blocking in shapes so proportions land early
• Layering and blending for soft fur and clean edges
• Easy background ideas that frame your pet without stealing focus

Photo tips to send us

• Face-forward or three-quarter headshot with sharp eyes
• Head and shoulders filling most of the frame rather than full body
• Natural light, minimal shadows, no filters
• One pet per canvas gives the best result

Good to know

• All materials supplied including apron and larger canvas
• If you cannot send a photo a week prior, bring a clear print on the day and we will help as best we can
• No BYO at partner venues. Food and drinks are available on-site
