Capture your furry friend in watercolor! Learn to paint pets with personality—whether realistic or vivid and wild—while receiving guidance for individual success. In this fun, beginner-friendly class, students will explore value, color, and expressive techniques to bring their pet portraits to life. Through step-by-step demonstrations, students will be guided in using tools and techniques while providing hands-on support as they create their own artwork. Learning happens through doing, so students will be painting from the start. Leave with new watercolor skills and a one-of-a-kind portrait that reflects each pet’s unique personality.
