    My painting!
    Marisa L.

    My neighbors told me about this paint class so I invited myself to join this week. What a fantastic experience. I enjoy painting but haven't done much of it and have never taken a class. I was a bit nervous however LJ makes you feel comfortable and kindly guides you through each step. I was blown away by my painting and am excited to take more classes from LJ and also to get my son in a class this summer. I highly recommend taking a class from LJ. You will not be disappointed.

    My real cat, Daisy, and what Lovejoy helped me create.  First time painter!

    So Much Fun!! :) I booked a class with 3 family members as a Holiday gift. No experienced painters. We all came out with awesome paintings!! Ok, so plenty of people get nervous when they are painting because they don't want to screw up. Lovejoy creates an atmosphere where we all felt calm, empowered, and playful. And our pets turned out super cute! I HIGHLY recommend taking a Pet Painting class from Lovejoy.

    Final works of art!

    I went to a "paint your pet" session as a fundraiser for the San Diego Humane Society on March 18,2023. It was a 3-h session and was on time, well organized and fun! Lovejoy is a kind and patient teacher, making the verbal instructions clear, providing printed visual guides for students and encouraging people to relax and have fun. It's a great opportunity to learn painting and Lovejoy really encouraged everyone to continue being creative with lots of ideas and links on her website. I'd say this was the best experience I've had (and I've done 2 others "paint night" and on line courses).

    So much fun, I loved it! Highly recommend. I did this as a date with my partner and now we have professional looking paintings of our animals hanging up in our house to enjoy every day. We can't believe we made them as we have no prior painting experience. Thank you Lovejoy!

    Amazing experience here painting my pet! I'm an engineer who can't draw or paint to save her life! Lovejoy was patient and her formula coaching up this class is flawless! Enjoyed my Saturday and can't wait to come back! Easy Fun Stress free & relaxing 3 hours!!! @neeks93 on Insta!

    We had such a great time painting our fur babies at Lovejoy's class with the San Diego Humane Society! Nothing sweeter than capturing a memory of your pets! And pets that are from the shelter too, makes it extra special. She makes it so easy to follow along and learn how to capture the real character of your pet. Thank you!

    My amazing friend treated me to a 'paint your pet ' afternoon at the studio as a surprise . We had the most amazing afternoon , never in a million years would I have thought I could produce the painted canvas that I did . Our teacher was amazing and she made everything so easy . I can't recommend Lovejoy Studio enough and if I could give her 100 stars I would ! We will be back !

    Paint your pet private session as the perfect triple date night event!

    We booked Lovejoy for a private Paint Your Pet session on a Saturday evening and it was one of the most awesome things ever! I had bought the gift for my boyfriend for Valentines day and then our friends wanted to come along so we were easily able to book a private lesson. Lovejoy is wonderful!! She is super responsive and extremely easy to work with. I couldn't quite believe how easy the entire thing was to coordinate. She's a talented artist and joyful and patient teacher. Her studio is small, but it was perfect for our group. We brought a picnic and spent the evening very relaxed and working on our fine works of pet art. We walked away with lovely portraits and a new inspiration to paint more! I can't recommend this class, studio and instructor enough! It's the perfect gift and/or team building thing to do. I have another pet, so I hope to return and do it all over again :)

    This is what LoveJoy has ready for you when you get there.

    This class was awesome. I never thought a painting class could be this fun and intuitive. LoveJoy was awesome in the way she talks, moves around the classroom giving positive reinforcement, everything. I am in no way shape or form good at drawing or painting but there she was, a picture of my Lola Bear on my canvas that somewhat resembled her. I was proud of myself. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to take your mind off of work, school, any stress really. Oh, and the music she was playing in the background was super soothing. If anyone knows what it was, shoot me a message. Thanks again LoveJoy.

    I took my daughter there for a birthday gift, and we each painted one of her cats. Lovejoy was very upbeat and super helpful every step of the way. Second Chance Brewery was a great venue... lots of light and great music. It was amazing to see that we could actually capture the essense of our pets on canvas.

    I stumbled upon the paint your pet class in an email from the San Diego Humane Society. I thought this would be the perfect gift for my Dad, who is deeply obsessed with his dog. Lovejoy is actually the name of the artist, which I personally found adorble. She was kind and inviting from the moment I walked into her small studio. Our class was only of 4 people, and she said she caps out at 10. This allows for an incredibly intimate experience which I was thrilled to get. As someone who dabled in art as a hobby, this attention was very much appreciated. Lovejoy is a talented artist and a patient teacher. She is is encouraging and positive during the entire session. The class really allowed for a personal touch and I found it to be incredibly relaxing. I also found out that she does schedule private classes for parties of 6 or more, which I thought would be a wonderful treat for lots of occasions, girls night in, team building, family reunions. Overall this was an incredibel experience and I am so glad that I did it. I would recomend this class to anyone who has an interested; especially if you have thought about painting your pet in the past. It is a true treat and worth every cent.

    I signed up for the "Paint Your Pet" class with a friend. It was very therapeutic and relaxing. Lovejoy helps you with little details if you need it. I had trouble with the eyes, so she stepped right in and gave it a little touch up, which sealed my painting to look awesome. It was something different, and I now have an awesome painting of my fur baby that I've hung up on my wall. I enjoyed Lovejoy's painting class so much that I'm hosting a private painting party at my home with friends and family. I most definitely recommend her classes to anyone looking for something fun and different to do on your own or with friends. You won't regret it. So much fun and you get to hang something up on your wall that you created. ;-)

    A group of 7 of us rented Lovejoy's studio for 3 hrs yesterday for a private Paint Your Pet party. We had SO much fun! When we arrived, our canvases and paint stations were all set up and ready to go. We brought drinks and snacks with us and were welcomed with friendly and upbeat energy. We painted in sections and she would lead each section with easy to follow instructions with pictures, then let us do our thing. My favorite part of the class was the one-on-one time she spent with all of us to teach us different techniques or help us blend colors. Lovejoy encouraged us all to listen to ourselves and to trust the process, ensuring us that even someone with no experience could have a great picture in the end. We were unsure and shaky, but with her direction, we all created wonderful paintings! She's a wonderful person to be around and we had a blast. All supplies are included with the low price of the class ($40-45/ea). Every single one of us was happy with our paintings! I can't wait to come back for another class!

    My corgi Chonks. Lovejoy helped add detail to his eyes and neck fluff. Very great instructor

    I did the paint your pet class and emailed her three pictures of my dog so she could draw it on the canvas.

    I am so glad I found out about this place! I have been wanting to take some hands on beginner…read morefriendly classes on sewing. It's located in the Liberty station property which I really enjoy visiting. They offer sewing machines to borrow which was really helpful before committing to your own! Hannah, the class instructor was very informative, friendly, available, and patient. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor! For the class we got to practice on some paper before jumping into our pillow case that we got to pick out a fan pattern and take home! I will be returning back for the part 2 of this class! Lastly, I noticed this company offers more than just sewing! I recommend checking it out to do either individually, with your child, friend, or partner!

    Cool fun at Liberty Station craft collective. Artsy people could let their imagination and…read morecreativity soar for bargain prices, more like a donation. There were even huge lumber 10 feet in height or more for wood workers. Lace, ribbons, macrame cording, hard cover books, odd finds were for sale. Early bird gets the worm. Few tables to display items and others in baskets below. Like a swap meet vendor. Bring small bills. The outdoor corridor had cheery painted walls making for totall cool photo ops.
