Unleash your inner artist in this fun and encouraging painting class led by Ken McNeill on Saturday, July 11th from 5:00–8:00. Whether you want to capture the charm of your beloved pet—be it a cat, dog, lizard, fish, or even a pig—or you feel inspired by nature’s beauty, this hands-on workshop is perfect for all skill levels.
Ken’s relaxed, supportive teaching style will guide you step by step as you bring your chosen subject to life on canvas. Even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush, you’ll be amazed at what you can create. Just bring your enthusiasm—and get ready for a fun afternoon full of color, creativity, and inspiration!
After registering, please email three photos of the same pet/animal or one landscape photo to: kmcneill.art@gmail.com. Ken will prepare your 11×14 or 12×12 canvas with a pre-drawn outline based on your images and select the best photo and canvas size to set you up for success.
Important: If you’re registering within 3 days of the class, call the gallery at 910-245-4129 to confirm space and preparation time availability.
