Join Alex in this beginner-friendly tutorial where she guides you step-by-step through the process of painting a pet portrait using acrylic paints. Working from a reference photo, Alex demonstrates simple, effective techniques to help you build the basic skills needed to create your own unique painting. You’ll learn about:

Finding a reference photo to use for your painting.
Sketching out your reference image onto canvas without having the need for good drawing skills.
Finding the right materials that will do a great job but not break the bank.
Choosing the right palette for your painting.
How to mix colours, add layers and tonal shifts in your painting meaning you don’t have to paint every individual hair.

Alex will show you how to use dark, medium and light tones effectively in your painting to simplify down details. And by the end of this class you should hopefully have your very own masterpiece to proudly hang on the walls of your home.
