Have you always wanted to capture a beloved dog or cat’s likeness and personality in a watercolor portrait? This is your opportunity to learn how. A pet portrait is a perfect gift for yourself, a friend or family member.

In the Pet Portrait Workshop, we will be focusing on head and shoulders. You’ll be able to paint the dog or cat of your choice and will learn how to:

• Paint fur with depth and light source, including how to handle long, short, curly, straight or fluffy fur
• Paint the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and whiskers
• Mix your colors
• Incorporate the background with your pet
• Handle small details, including painting a metal tag and collar

While you’ll have time to do your drawings prior to the class, I will check your drawing for accuracy before you start painting.
