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 and watercolor paper.

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).

Good Class -- I'd Do It Again!

This class was a good beginner's lesson in learning to watercolor. Within a two-hour timeframe, you'll learn the basics about watercoloring and a chance to paint your favorite animal friend! We had been given this class as a gift from our son and daughter-in-law. My wife and I were a bit skeptical about how well we could get a portrait of our cat and dog done in two hours -- And amazingly, it happened! After the class, I tried it again and using the technics we learned tried another picture -- with even better results. There's a lot packed into two hours, but well worth the time and money!

Great experience!

I received this experience as a gift, and it was so much fun! My only complaint is that the recommended watercolor kit did not have all the materials required for the class. We needed a large round brush, but the recommended watercolor kit only had large flat brushes. Other than that, I learned so much in the 2-hour class and had an amazing time!

I'm I'm not sure I would buy it again

My daughter was looking forward to this class that I bought her Christmas. I bought the water color kit and she told me the facilitator had different paints and brushes. The facilitator went too fast my daughter struggled as well other consumers as they were visibly flustered. My daughter couldn't finish her painting which was too be expected but she told be it a stressful experience. She stated that the first 45 minutes was technique and the during the actual lesson, the facilitators were talking making it hard to concentrate. My daughter paused her project to complete it after the class.

Fun and instructive

Addy simply taught us (as complete novices) the techniques to create our pet portrait. Her instructions was clear and the 2 hour time frame was perfect to learn and then create our masterpiece!

Awesome Class!

I really enjoyed this class. Addie is a great instructor and she explained and shown how to do the different techniques in a way that is easy to understand and to follow. It was done in small bites allowing you time to practice the techniques without being overwhelmed. I haven't done watercolor painting since high school and this was the prefect reintroduction for me.

Who knew I could draw??

I gave all my family members this class as a Christmas gift. We had so much fun learning how to draw our pets. I never would have thought they would turn out so well!! We were all amazed at the great direction and information given ahead of time so we had all the supplies and were ready to go when the class started. I would highly recommend it!!
