Paint Your Pet Party

We participated in a paint your pet event that was supporting a local dog shelter. You send off a photo to paint and they have a traced template ready for you. There were 25ish people set up. The paintings aren't intended to be completely realistic, but still artistic in what ever way you choose. They organize the event in steps and if you follow directions, your finished product is bound to be great! The only way to make it better would have been to have dogs onsite! I hope to plan my own event in the future!

Did this at Sugar Creek Winery in Carmel! What a fun time! Not exactly an artist but pop art style left lots of room for artistic interpretation!

If you love to look at your dog as much as I do, paint a picture...it'll last longer ;) I signed up for this with a friend to do at Union Jack's in Broad Ripple. My friend ditched me, but I went anyway. Not only did I get to take my awesome painting home (lol mine literally had to be the worst), I made some new friends while I was there too. Evann was so awesome and helpful. I would love to do a Paint Your Pet Party at my house soon. I highly recommend!

Really great concept! So much fun to do this as a fundraiser for a local rescue group. I wish there was a tad more time allotted. Unlike the other paint & drink type places where you get 3 hours to complete your painting; you only get 2 hours. So it did feel a little rushed. Not to mention the instructor kept saying that it didn't matter how good it looked, but if you're paying $35 for it, you do want it to look good. I also felt the instructor was a little stern. She did admit that she was a previous art teacher, but I kind of felt like she spoke to a group of grown adults like children. Definitely not a warm & fuzzy type. It didn't feel as relaxing as I'd hoped but I am very pleased with my painting and love that they take the time to draw your pets picture on a canvas. Nobody's is the same which I love!

I had so much fun! I was concerned I wouldn't be able to make something that looked like our dog, but the final product looks so good. They were so helpful and nice! I would definitely recommend this to anyone at any artistic skill-level!
