Join me in this watercolour class as we paint the fierce beauty and powerful presence of a white wolf. Through the expressive and transparent qualities of watercolour, we’ll bring out the wolf’s striking features and ethereal, almost ghost-like essence, conveying both its wild nature and quiet strength.

This class is designed to help you develop key techniques for painting expressive animal portraits. We’ll focus on capturing the texture of fur, creating depth in the eyes, and using atmospheric washes to enhance the mood and movement of our piece. By combining controlled detail with spontaneous watercolour effects, you’ll learn how to breathe life into your subject and make your painting feel dynamic and alive.

In this class, you’ll learn:

How to paint realistic fur with soft and sharp edges
Techniques for creating depth and intensity in the eyes
Using watercolor splashes and gradients to add atmosphere and movement
Balancing detailed realism with expressive, fluid washes

By the end of this class, you’ll have a captivating portrait of a white wolf, full of energy and emotion. Whether you’re new to animal painting or looking to refine your watercolour skills, this class will help you explore new techniques and push your artistic expression further.

Grab your brushes and let’s paint together, I can’t wait to see your incredible wolves!

Thank you so much for your interest in this class!
