Our pets bring so much color to our lives, they love us unconditionally, make us smile and are our best companions through all of life’s ups and downs. Whether your pet is cheeky, energetic, lazy, loyal or anything in between — they are all true characters! If you think your pet should star in their own comic, here’s your chance. Learn how to paint your pet in a pop art comic book style that highlights their unique personality. Beginners welcome and happiness is guaranteed!
About The Workshop:
Let’s unleash our creativity and celebrate the love we have for our furry friends by turning them into a work of pop art!
