The Process

How It Works

01

Share Your Favorite Photo

Send a clear photo of your dog, cat, or pet to Lea at least one week before your session. Any angle, any breed — the more personality in the photo, the better.

02

We'll Prepare Your Custom Painting

Lea lightly sketches your pet onto the canvas before your session, so you arrive ready to paint — no blank-canvas anxiety, just pure creative focus.

03

Enjoy Your Private Painting Experience

Sessions take place at your home, a venue of your choice, or a curated Aspen location. Lea brings all supplies — brushes, paints, and everything you need.

04

Take Home a One-of-a-Kind Memory

Lea guides you through every brushstroke at a comfortable, enjoyable pace. No experience necessary — just bring your creativity and enthusiasm.

Questions

Frequently Asked

What kind of photo should I send?

A clear, well-lit photo works best. Front-facing or three-quarter views tend to translate beautifully to canvas. Multiple photos are welcome — Lea will choose the best composition.

Do I need any painting experience?

None at all. Lea guides you through every brushstroke. The pre-sketched canvas means you spend your time painting, not worrying about proportions.

How long is a session?

Most Paint Your Pet sessions run 90 minutes to 2 hours. You leave with a finished, framed-ready painting of your pet.

Can I paint more than one pet?

Absolutely. Just let Lea know when you reach out and she'll plan the canvas composition accordingly.

Where do sessions take place?

Lea travels to you — your home, a vacation rental, a private venue, or an outdoor setting in Aspen or Snowmass. Travel fees may apply outside Aspen.

How far in advance should I book?

At least one week in advance so Lea has time to prepare your canvas. For group sessions or events, two weeks is preferred.
