4-week Pet Portrait Class for adults
This class is focused on capturing the character of you pet in a painting or drawing. Students are welcome to work in any art media they wish to use, the classroom is carpeted so please no oil paint, but anything else is fine. I suggest using acrylic for most pets it dries quickly and is the easiest paint to show texture. In the past I have used acrylic, watercolor, pastel and pencil for pet portraits with great success.
