Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our DIY painting kits, pet portrait commissions, and Paint & Sip pop-ups around the Chicagoland area.
DIY Painting Kits
What comes in a kit?
The DIY Painting Kit (Single Pet) is $45.00 and includes a pre-sketched 9in x 12in canvas of your pet, a table easel, a paint palette with curated paints matched to your pet's colors, your choice of background color, and a variety of brushes — detail, small, medium, and large.
How do I send my pet photo?
After purchasing a kit, email your favorite photo of your pet to trina@paintyourpetandsip.com. That photo is what the pre-sketched canvas is based on.
Can I choose the background color?
Yes. A choice of background color is included with the kit, along with the curated paints for your pet's own colors.
Where can I see the kit details again?
Full kit contents and pricing are listed on the Kits page.
Commissions
What kinds of commissions do you offer?
Two options: Pet Painting Commissions, a custom painted portrait of your pet created by our artists, and Digital Pet Portrait Commissions, which can turn your fur-baby into a coloring book style artwork or other digital designs.
How do I start a commission?
Email us with your pet photos and the type of portrait you have in mind. Write to trina@paintyourpetandsip.com or trinamaestudio@paintyourpetandsip.com for commission details.
Where can I learn more?
See the Portraits page for digital work and the Commissions page for painted portraits.
Paint & Sip Pop-Ups
Where do pop-ups take place?
Paint & Sip pop-ups are hosted at locations all over the Chicagoland area. Each pop-up is tied to its own host venue, so the location depends on the event.
