About this Event

Animal Flower Portrait

Adult Art Workshop

Create a unique and meaningful artwork that blends animals, flowers, and personal symbolism in this imaginative acrylic painting workshop.

In this project, participants will paint a vase holding an “animal flower”—an animal or pet of their choice reimagined as a blooming floral form. The vase itself becomes part of the artwork and can be designed freely, allowing for personal style and creativity. Additional flowers may be included—whether chosen for their beauty or personal meaning.

To complete the composition, participants will add a simple repeated floral motif in the background, creating a bold, contemporary pop-art–inspired look.


📍 Location: Toronto Public Library – Fort York Branch, Meeting Room
Medium: Acrylic on paper
Group Size: Small group (up to 12 participants)
