Learn how to create a watercolor pet portrait from start to finish-  from selecting a good reference photo to drawing the outline to painting with watercolor. Alexandra Schmeling will teach the “ink and wash” method of painting. It starts with an outline of the portrait in pen and is completed with washes of watercolor paint. No experience is necessary! You’ll receive all of the necessary materials. Plus, you can keep a watercolor palette and brush to continue practicing! You will leave with a completed watercolor pet portrait and the knowledge to keep painting pets!

 

Please bring 3 8×10 photos to the first class of the pet you would like to draw (doesn’t have to be professional photos, can be computer print-outs. The photo on an iPad is also acceptable).
