Tap into your ability to capture the essence of a pet or animal. You will learn how to build layers of washes to create depth, along with techniques such as composition, brushwork, negative painting, and creating strong backgrounds.

In the first class, everyone will work from the same provided image. You will focus on capturing the soul in the eyes and the undertones in the nose before moving on to painting techniques for a variety of fur styles and colors.

By the end of the workshop, you will have the opportunity to work from your own chosen image with guided support, applying the lessons from previous sessions. You will leave with the skills to paint a personalized portrait of a beloved pet.
