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

Questions
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.
