📸 Photo Guidelines
When you book, you’ll upload your pet photo—we’ll pre-sketch it on your canvas before class.
Please submit your final choice photo (that’s what we’ll use)
If you’re unsure, reply to your confirmation email with extra photos
—we’ll help you choose the best fit
The clearer the photo, the easier to paint
Best angles: pet facing forward or at a 3/4 turn, looking up or forward
Sleeping pets are fine, but curled-up pets may need cropping so the face is large enough to paint.
Dogs: usually chest-up looks best (unless they’re small)
Cats: often we can fit 3/4 or even the whole body
We will message you if we see an issue or need another photo.
🎨 Backgrounds & Extras
No pressure to decide your background until class
You can keep it simple or have fun!
Options include:
Solid or neutral colors
Vibrant, gradient fade, or rainbow, your choice!
Soft environments like grass or clouds
(no elaborate scenery—focus is on your pet)
Extras you can request when booking (we’ll pre-sketch them in):
Sunglasses, bandanas, collars with names, devil horns, a special toy, halos, etc.
Pet’s name or paw prints in the background, are fun -too! 🐾
(Some last-minute ideas can also be added the day of class—don’t stress!)
