Back by popular demand! After the excitement of her Friday night class, Shirley is offering a full-day workshop so students can truly dive into color, design, and creativity—and everyone goes home with a finished painting of their favorite pet.

Ever wanted to paint your furry friend? Join artist Shirley Sakatani for a joyful, pop-art–style pet portrait workshop bursting with color and personality. This full-day class gives you plenty of time to play, experiment, and bring your pet to life in a bold, vibrant way.

Working on a 20 × 20” canvas, Shirley will guide you step by step through her approachable and proven process.
