Paint Your Pet Paint and Sip

Paint Your Pet paint and sip - because they deserve a proper portrait

Paint Your Pet is the most personal session in the Paint Juicy catalogue. Instead of painting a set artwork, every guest brings a photo of their pet and paints their own personalised portrait. The canvas at the end is genuinely one-of-a-kind - not a version of the same painting as everyone else in the room, but a portrait of the specific animal that has the most important place in that guest's life.

Dogs are the most common subject. Labradors, Cavoodles, Staffies, Kelpies, Huskies, Dachshunds, Corgis - the full range of Australian family pets appears across Paint Your Pet sessions. Cats are a close second. Horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and the occasional very photogenic fish have all appeared on canvases. The guided instruction works for any animal because it focuses on technique and process rather than a specific subject - background first, then the outline, then the base colour, then the shading and detail.

Public Paint Your Pet sessions from $59 per person. Private events from $700 for the first 10 guests, then $65 per additional. 100% mobile across Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.

How Paint Your Pet sessions work

Guests bring a clear photo of their pet - printed or on their phone. The host guides the painting process step by step on the mic: background first, then the outline, then the main colours, then the detail work. Because every guest is painting their own animal, the instruction focuses on technique - how to approach the fur, the eyes, the expression - rather than prescribing specific colours or shapes. The result is that every canvas in the room at the end of a Paint Your Pet session is different, and all of them are better than guests expected.

Private Paint Your Pet events

Private Paint Your Pet events are particularly popular for hens parties where the bride-to-be is a devoted pet owner, birthday celebrations for animal lovers and any group with a strong shared love of animals. Every guest brings a photo of their own pet and every guest leaves with their own portrait. Private events from $700 for the first 10 guests, then $65 per additional.

Never done a Paint Juicy session before?

The concern everyone arrives with: "I cannot draw." The thing everyone says at the end: "I cannot believe I made that." Every step is called out on the mic before anyone touches paint to canvas. You paint the background before the foreground. The light before the shadow. The outline before the detail. By the time you reach the part that looked difficult on the demo, the foundations are already there and it is easier than it looked. Sessions run roughly two and a half to three hours. The singalong runs the whole time. The trivia moments between layers are competitive, frequently wrong and entirely deliberate.

4x Best of Queensland Experience winner

Four consecutive wins from judges who assessed every entertainment experience in Queensland and kept arriving at the same answer. The 4.8-star Google average backs it up. The two most common review words: "fun" and "atmosphere." Not painting. Not instruction. Fun and atmosphere. That is the brief Paint Juicy was built to deliver.

What to expect if you have never done a Paint Juicy session

The number one concern every first-timer arrives with: "I cannot draw." The thing every first-timer says at the end: "I cannot believe I made that." Every step is called out on the mic before anyone puts brush to canvas. Background before foreground. Light before shadow. Outline before detail. By the time you reach the part that looked difficult on the demo canvas, the foundations are already there and it is easier than it looked. Sessions run roughly two and a half to three hours. The singalong runs the whole time. The trivia moments between layers are competitive, frequently wrong and entirely deliberate.

Paint Your Pet is available as a public session and as a private event across Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory. For public sessions, browse the QLD, NSW and NT calendars above for upcoming dates. For private events, get in touch via the contact page. One practical note: the best photos to bring are well-lit, clear shots where the pet is facing roughly toward the camera. Close-up portrait shots work better than full-body shots for the level of detail achievable in a session. Bring it anyway if you are unsure - the host will advise on approach when the session starts.
