Watercolor Pet Portrait Workshop
Celebrate your favorite furry friend with a one-of-a-kind watercolor portrait! Such a fun project, and also a really wonderful gift for a pet-loving friend...
Join mixed-media artist Heather Carey for a fun and relaxing evening as you paint a personalized portrait of your beloved pet. No drawing experience is necessary - Heather will have your pet’s portrait pre-drawn on watercolor paper before class, so you can focus on enjoying the painting process.
Choose the portrait size you’d like to create at checkout:
5” × 7” $55.00
8” × 10” $65.00
Both sizes are painted during the same class, so everyone can work at their own pace.
Class Time: 6:30–8:30 PM
Studio opens at 6:15 PM
All materials are included. Just bring your enthusiasm - we’ll provide everything you need to create your watercolor pet portrait.
*After registering, please email a clear, forward-facing photo of your pet to: HeatherCareyStudios@gmail.com (Please include your name, the date of your workshop, and a phone number).
Heather will prepare your pet’s sketch/portrait in advance so it’s ready and waiting for you to paint when you arrive.
Heather will guide you step-by-step through watercolor techniques, color mixing, and finishing details to help you create a portrait you’ll treasure for years to come. Whether you’re a beginner or have painted before, you’ll leave with a beautiful keepsake celebrating your special companion.
You are welcome to bring your favorite food/drink. Our workshops at Free Range Art are all about learning something new and enjoying the time to meet with friends or make new connections! All supplies are provided and this workshop is beginner friendly.
About Heather Carey:
Heather Carey has been creating art for as long as she can remember. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and more than 25 years of experience in art therapy, she brings a lifelong passion for creativity to every painting, workshop, and commission.
Her vibrant mixed-media artwork blends bold color, playful pattern, and rich texture, drawing inspiration from the animals, landscapes, and equestrian life that surround her in Pennsylvania’s historic horse country. Using layers of gel plate printing, acrylics, collage, and encaustic techniques, she creates contemporary works that celebrate connection, joy, and personality.
Teaching is one of Heather’s greatest passions. Through her workshops at Free Range Art, she loves helping students of all experience levels discover that creativity doesn’t have to be intimidating - it should be fun, playful, and full of exploration. Whether someone is picking up a paintbrush for the first time or expanding their artistic skills, her goal is to create an encouraging environment where everyone can succeed.
In addition to teaching, Heather creates original artwork, custom pet portraits, and commissioned pieces for collectors across the country. Her work can currently be found at Good Girls Bakery, with Sugartown Art & Antiques coming soon. Fall 2026, she will also debut a special collection at North Star Orchard.
Heather's work will also be featured at upcoming exhibitions, including The Corner Art Collective, the Bryn Mawr Gala, and the Unionville Gala, with more exciting announcements coming soon.
Heather looks forward to sharing the joy of creativity with you.
