Want to learn how to draw professional animal portraits? Learn how to paint realistic dogs using the amazing pastel technique.

In this comprehensive class, together we will learn to draw 6 different dog fur textures, and facial features like the ears, eyes and nose.

We will approach each section of the dog separately, so by the end of the class you will be able to put all the sections together and create a dog of any fur texture or colour.
We will approach the drawing by first creating an effective base layer with soft pastel sticks, and follow by capturing a realistic fur texture and details with pastel pencils.
We will master depth to make our subject appear three-dimensional.

Why you should take this class:

By breaking down the portrait into sections and steps, you will build confidence when drawing.
By the end of the class you will be able to draw pets with all fur textures and colours.
We will be focusing on animal portraiture, however, there are general transferable pastel drawing skills you will learn in this class.
With the skills learnt, you may create amazing portraits of your pets for friends and family, or even start a business.

Suitable for intermediate artists:

The class is best suited for artists with prior drawing experience. However, this comprehensive class covers the entire drawing process. The fundamentals of pastels all the way to the intricate final details are covered extensively. Therefore, I welcome artists of all levels.

Materials:

Paper for Drawing with Pastels
Soft Pastel Sticks
Pastel Pencils

HAPPY DRAWING! Can’t wait to see what you create!
