The Experience

keyboard_arrow_up

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.

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).
