Pups Paint & Prosecco – What more do you want on a Saturday afternoon? Join Paws & Pause with Portrait Pals for a pup-painting extravaganza. In this fun, relaxed art class, you will have the opportunity to practice your drawing skills using live dog models.

Our space is well equipped with tables and drawing boards, and we provide all materials (including pens, pencils, paper, and watercolours). You are welcome to bring your own supplies if you prefer. We will have dogs on site for you to draw, but we encourage well-behaved dogs to come along for the afternoon!*

What the class will look like

Over this two-hour drawing session, you will review the basics of figure drawing, practice 2-min pose sketches, and paint pet portraits using watercolour and ink. The gestural drawing portion of our class will be focused on the live animal, whereas the portrait section will be done from photographs taken on the spot. Should you choose to draw your own dog who is not with you on the day, feel free to bring photographs for your reference!

You will be able to take home the supplies you use, which include:

x1 set of watercolours + paintbrush

x1 Tombow brush pen
