The Pet Portrait Painting Challenge

I’m so glad you’re here. Watch this video first:

After you watch the video, do this:

Head over to the Preparing for Success page (in the left menu on desktop or at the bottom on mobile).

There, you’ll find:

  • the simple supplies I recommend
  • how to transfer Charlie onto your canvas
  • and a few guiding lessons to support you as you begin

A more personal layer of guidance

Challenge VIP upgrade: Personal Video feedback ($47)

As you move through the challenge, you may find yourself wondering: Am I seeing this clearly? Why doesn’t this area look quite right? What should I adjust before I call it finished?

For artists who would like a more personal level of support, I’ve opened a limited number of private video critiques.

Submit your painting at any point during the challenge, and I’ll personally review your work and record a focused video sharing:

✨ What’s already working well
✨ Areas that may be holding the painting back
✨ Specific adjustments you can make to improve depth, likeness, and realism
✨ The next steps I’d take if this painting were on my easel

Often, just a few small changes can make the difference between a painting that feels “almost there” and one you’re genuinely proud to display.

Each critique includes a private video review (approximately 5 minutes) delivered directly to you.

Your video will be available to view and download for 7 days.

This upgrade is completely optional, but if you’d like personalized feedback and the confidence of having a professional pet portrait artist review your work, you’re warmly invited.
