In this fun 1-day class, you will learn how to paint a one of a kind portrait of cats, dogs, or other favourite pets. You will learn how to select the best reference picture for your painting. Oksana will teach you about composition, tools, and ideas to paint an easy and quick alla prima (wet on wet technique) portrait of your loved ones. Follow the instructor’s demonstration as you create your own pet portrait, using loose, fluid brushstrokes to develop fur and whiskers and layer colours for a dimensional effect.
