General Admission

Ages 16+Bring a favorite pet photo and turn your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) friend into a watercolor painting. We&rsquo;ll use your photo as a guide, trace the basic shapes, and then walk through how to build up your painting with watercolor. No drawing experience necessary! We&rsquo;re taking the pressure out of the process and focusing on having fun and experimenting with transfer paper. Bring a clear, printed photo of your pet on standard printer paper and we&rsquo;ll take it from there! Feel free to bring your favorite snacks and drinks!
