Arts & DIY

Event Overview

My name is Hope Kieffer, and I want to teach you how to Paint Your Pet! I've painted over 300 pet commissions to date, and I'd love to share my skill and insight with you in a fun, easy going class.


I will be walking you through how to paint your pet step by step with artist quality acrylic paint on a 12x16 canvas! You will be provided with a canvas with your pet already traced on it, so the class will be like filling in a coloring book. No drawing required!


Please bring your own snacks and drinks, and wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty! 


Email me at hopekiefferart@gmail.com with your photo, and please include the word "Unleashed" in your email title.

Minimum age

All ages welcome

What's Provided

I will provide paint, canvas, easels, and everything else you'll need to produce a masterpiece and discover your inner artist.

    This was an amazing class, some people are better artists than other. I'm one of the not so experienced artists, but the class was still wonderful!!

    Loved this class and looking forward to the next one! Hope was very helpful and she had assistant with her which was great with the large class. I felt like every time I needed help one of them was there to guide me. Wish the class was four hours instead of three.

    Do this class! If you love your dog (and who doesn't??) you need to sign up for Paint your pet. Hope works very hard for you to have a positive fun time painting a picture you will love to have. And it goes by fast!! Time flies when you are having fun! I already want to sign up for my next painting. Thanks Hope!!

    Great class. After losing my pet recently, the opportunity for something more than just photos was appealing. Hope is great at explaining and helping along for a one of a kind keepsake!

    I had a wonderful time being my first painting class experience. The host Holly was super helpful and gave good instructions during class. She even had time to walk around and help everyone's individual needs. Weather you are an expert or novice this class is for you. Had a lot of fun mixing colors and trying out some of my own ideas to really make it a personal experience and painting. Very happy with my out come and look forward to future classes.

    Hope was a fantastic teacher! My friends and I were very nervous how the portraits of our dogs would turn out as none of us are particularly artistic. Hope was thorough and clear in her instructions and we had pictures we were proud of (and frankly amazed that we had managed to paint!) by the end of the class!

    It was SO much fun! It was great to see not only how well I could do my own painting, but to see everyone else's pet photos and paintings - all the different styles were amazing.

    I loved taking the Paint Your Pet class with Hope! She is so helpful and guides you through the painting process. Everyone turned out a fabulous painting of their pet!!! I was so impressed and proud of what I ended up with, a beautiful painting of my poodle Lucy! I plan on going back to paint Lucy's big brother Charlie too! I am encouraging my friends to join me.

    I have attended 2 Paint your Pet classes with Hope the awesome art instructor. The first time I didnt know what I was doing but Hope is right there for you and all the other people painting (some were even Art Majors in school) will help too if you want it. I was in awe when I finally finished. It turned out great!!! The next month I signed up again and painted my horse. This time I was much better at it but still got help when I needed it. I will continue to go everytime she has ‘Paint Your Pet’. I am going to paint every animal I owned plus the ones I have now. Hanging them all over the house instead of buying pictures cause its so cute having the Pets I Painted hanging all over the house!!! It is soooo much fun!!!! As well as relaxing!!

    I enjoyed this fun class very much. Hope, the teacher was very positive and responsive given her time constraints. She had assistants so that really helped when participants just needed their supplies replenished. I am not particularly artistic but with her clear instructions I think I finished with a very satisfactory painting of one of my dogs. I thought the class was very reasonably priced considering all you received, and I would definitely do this class again.

    I have little artistic talent but Hope guided me to a true likeness of my dog. Friends actually say I captured her essence! It was a great experience and I'll be finding another class to take.
