Painterly Pet Portraits




Painterly Pet Portraits

In this class we will learn how to capture our pets and favorite animals in general with watercolor on paper. This class however will not be about mixing the exact shades of skin and fur and rendering every hair and whisker, even though we will talk about the science of mixing colors, also known as the color theory for artists.

We will attempt to expand our palette beyond realistic colors of nature to “random” or as I like to call them fantasy colors. The painting techniques will be very loose and expressive. Using primary colors and shades close to them on the color wheel I will paint white, brown, gray and even black fur and skin. The goal will be to create vivid, luminous portraits that reflect the joy and happiness that our four-legged friends bring to our lives.
