Recent reviews of Painting Class - Paint Your Pet

  • 5/5 from Aleksandra Kaczorek, attended May 2026: The class was simply amazing! I loved how the teacher guided us from the beginning and explained the ‘science behind paining’ ☺️ Sketches were made ahead of time and it helped massively, especially for paining newbies like me! Would recommend to everyone, no matter the experience
  • 5/5 from Susan Raine, attended May 2026: Our teacher patiently guided us through the process to get a good representation of our pets, lots of help with paint mixing and techniques to bring the pictures alive. Have already recommended this Pet Painting to friends!
  • 4/5 from Tony Nguyen, attended Feb 2026: Enjoyable class. Teacher was always positive about everyone's painting.
  • 5/5 from Zoe Smith-Holladay, attended Nov 2025: Our teacher was so lovely and encouraging, a real gem. She made sure to give each of us one-on-one guidance for our paintings. It was so nice to see everyone’s paintings at the end!
  • 5/5 from Tina Sutch, attended Nov 2025: A great class. The teacher talked us through step by steps, it was very relaxed, no pressure.
  • 5/5 from Heather Becalick, attended Nov 2025: Really enjoyed learning how to do acrylics. Out teacher was very enthusiastic and made it all seem achievable.
  • 5/5 from Nadia Moma, attended Aug 2025: The class was fantastic! I was shocked at how good my painting turned out. The teacher was super lovely and accommodating. I was impressed overall and would definitely recommend this class to a friend!
  • 5/5 from Ian Rosbottom, attended May 2025: Fun times with a really inclusive and friendly teacher
  • 5/5 from Jenny Lewis, attended May 2025: Great teacher. A fun relaxing experience. Will likely book with the company again
  • 5/5 from Camille Le Boulba, attended Apr 2025: My daughter and I really enjoyed the session. The set up was lovely and we had everything we needed during the session. The explanations and instructions were clear and we were happy to take home a piece of art that we would actually display because the final result looks good. The venue was very cosy with refreshments available from the bar and the team very nice and welcoming. I absolutely recommend it. It was a gift from my sister for my birthday, she bought it online from France and she though because I love mindfulness activites and art it would be something I like to do. I had a great time doing it but also doing it with my daughter was special. Thank you for the fantastic experience!
  • 5/5 from Ian Pegg, attended Apr 2025: The teacher was very patient and helped me and my daughter.
  • 5/5 from Adrienne Hudson, attended Apr 2025: Loved our pet portrait class! The class was really well organised with all the equipment we could need. We were taught lots of new techniques. It was very relaxing and enjoyable, I would definitely recommend!
  • 4/5 from Gaelle Cavalier, attended Apr 2025: Our teacher was nice, very welcoming and supportive. She guided us on how to build up layers of colours to create shades and brightness to give character to our dog painting. We were given a bag to carry our work which was very appreciated.
  • 4/5 from Suiran Chan, attended Mar 2025: Great class. Friendly teacher. A really nice thing to do with friends!
  • 5/5 from Nick Ludlow, attended Feb 2025: The class was really good fun, relaxed and supportive. I’m bad at art and still managed to make a good looking painting!
  • 4/5 from Cristina Aschioape, attended Jan 2025: The class was fun and learned some good techniques. It was a shame that the place was very noissy so we could barely hear the teacher and it was some confusion on what we need to do.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Kimberley, attended Nov 2024: Absolutely loved this class! It was a lovely small group and the instructor gave great help and tips. The location was also great - the pub is lovely and it crated a really relaxed atmosphere. Would 100% recommend!
  • 5/5 from Freya, attended Nov 2024: Great class - we are so pleased with our paintings, all thanks to Melissa's help!
  • 5/5 from Suphanit Piyapromdee, attended Oct 2024: Great class! Instructor was fantastic. I’m very happy with my painting. Will definitely do it again.
  • 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2024: Nice relaxing class and good fun with no pressure to paint a masterpiece. All levels welcome and encouraged.
  • 5/5 from Rachel Leach, attended Aug 2024: Really fun. Melissa was great and very helpful. I have no artistic talent but came away with a great picture that actually looks like my cat!
  • 5/5 from Mary Francis, attended Jul 2024: I booked this for my friend's birthday!! My teacher was lovely and knew how to salvage my painting when I made a mistake. I had a beautiful cay painting to take home at the end!!
  • 3/5 from Eleonora Ossol, attended Jul 2024: It was really fun, totally enjoy it and everyone was lovely. If you are a total beginner like me, however, this clss doesn't really explains you the basics of layers and colours.
  • 5/5 from Amy, attended Jun 2024: It was my first time picking up a paintbrush since school, but the teacher was lovely and patient and gave us flexibility as to how we want our paintings to turn out. I’m quite happy with the result and would like to do this more often!
  • 5/5 from Lynda Rowley, attended May 2024: We had a lovely afternoon! The teacher was really encouraging and attentive! It was really relaxing and enjoyable class!
  • 5/5 from Katerina Arnaudova, attended Mar 2024: I really enjoyed the class, the location was easily accessible. Melissa was very helpful and friendly. It was easy to follow her instructions.
  • 5/5 from Georgia, attended Mar 2024: This experience was loads of fun. I didn't think it would be possible to produce finished paintings good enough to display in two hours. The initial sketches, done for you in advance which makes it good value for the money, were a big part of that of course, and the teacher during the two hours was encouraging. Recommended!
  • 5/5 from Evelin Metslov, attended Mar 2024: Amazing class! Me and my fiancé had a wonderful evening. The class is great even for people who have barely ever touched the canvas or a brush, as the teacher always there to help you :) 2h went super fast and absolutely no-one wanted to finish painting, as everyone was so involved into process :)
  • 5/5 from Alexandra Zhdanovskikh, attended Mar 2024: That was a great experience of drawing our dog last weekend, so therapeutic and fun. The teacher was very helpful and supportive. We had a great time, thank you very much.
  • 5/5 from Becky Stout, attended Mar 2024: Really good fun, highly recommended Looking forward to hanging our paintings up at home. Great teachers
  • 5/5 from Malcolm Campbell, attended Mar 2024: Excellent class where the teacher guides you helpfully through the process while giving you plenty of creative freedom. My painting came out far better than I could have hoped! Would strongly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Ruth Jones, attended Feb 2024: Fun, relaxing and great tuition we loved our class and would definitely recommend it to anyone
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jan 2024: Melissa was lovely, very knowledgable and patient - really enjoyable afternoon! Good for all levels and groups / people on their own
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2023: The teacher was really helpful and guided me to improve my technique. Would highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2023: Melissa had been responsive to my questions before I decided to buy a class. The venue was lovely and central. Even though I had zero painting skill, my picture looked amazing. It was easy to follow the instructions. I really enjoyed my painting class today.
  • 4/5 from Avril, attended Sep 2023: Only negative was not suitable for people with mobility requirements. I am also recovering from a close bereavement. Melissa was patient and encouraging, learnt more about colour mixing and the materials were accessible. The therapeutic experience was good value for money We all came out with a replica of the photograph taken
  • 5/5 from Liam O'Callaghan, attended Jul 2023: Very good experience. Well taught, and as a beginner I felt very supported in the process. Great that you have the option to have your pet sketched ahead of time to give you a good foundation to work from. The space was very generous and appropriate for the class and the painting tools supplied made it easy to complete the painting. Would highly recommend for a date activity or to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday.
  • 5/5 from Ekaterini Kotsopoulou, attended Jun 2023: Class was very enjoyable, I attended with my daughter, and time flew by and the teacher was very helpful
  • 5/5 from Jonathan Rutt, attended Jun 2023: A lovely and enjoyable experience, which has motivated us to take up painting on a regular basis. The only negative comment I have, is that the venue was a little cramped and dingy. The artist was very helpful.
  • 4/5 from Ana Guiote, attended May 2023: We really enjoyed this painting class - it was in a great location, easy to find and very clear instructions. The teacher was helpful and prepared the sketches beforehand. I was very happy with the end result and now have a memory of my dog that I will always cherish. Would recommend the experience.
  • 5/5 from Tarryn Gourley, attended Apr 2023: Very friendly and everything was well organised - thank you for an amazing class! Would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Delia Lockey, attended Mar 2023: The teacher was so friendly and knowledgeable. The class was amazing. We really liked the venue and we had an incredible time. I will definitely book another class.
  • 5/5 from Dorota Jagnesakova, attended Mar 2023: I really enjoyed this experience, the environment was comfortable and everyone was very friendly. The teacher was lovely and helpful and made the experience feel natural and fun.
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Moor, attended Feb 2023: It was a fun class and nice that all abilities could do it. There was a massive mix in our session and Melissa managed to help everyone out. Would definitely do it again!

  • 5/5 from Amber Lewis, attended Nov 2022: My sisters and I took my mum for her birthday to the paint your pet class and we had a great time! Melissa was lovely and really helpful :)
  • 5/5 from Elisa Ursich, attended Jul 2022: The teacher Jemima was very very sweet and happy to help and support as much as necessary and also the venue is beautiful and the environment is friendly and relaxed, thanks to her help I managed to get to draw a much better picture than expected so I learnt a lot about basics of painting, and most of all we had lots of fun, I recommend it!
  • 5/5 from Vladimir Tsimaylo, attended Apr 2022: Had a great experience on Saturday drawing my dog. Melissa and Katie prepared sketches in advance, which we then used as a template to paint. During the class we were given lots of tips to how to adjust the shades, light, add volume, improve the texture and even out the background. Having no experience in painting, we felt very proud of the results!
  • 5/5 from Kally Oh, attended Apr 2022: Enjoyed the venue, was very spacious with natural light. We had a private area in a restaurant so there was good access to bathrooms and food/drink which was nice. It was a small group so we got individual time from the teacher Melissa who was approachable and helpful. It was a fun and easy experience as all materials were provided and even bags to bring the art home in. Would definitely go again!
