Workshop Description
Pets are part of the family. Bring in a favorite photo or two of your pet and learn how to render it in the form of a drawing or painting.

After choosing the drawing or painting media, you will receive one-to-one guidance in creating an image of your current pet or a memorial to a pet that brought joy to your life!
