This class will encourage you to loosen up when drawing, forget about proportions and just enjoy the process. Too many of us think that a painting can’t be magnificent if it isn’t ‘perfectly correct’. It is a great class for those struggling with an artist block as it gives you ability to draw without thinking. So therefore this skill becomes quite handy whenever you feel stuck in the process. 
This class is NOT going to teach you how to paint your pet in a realistic style, instead we’ll be focusing on colors, mark making, and giving your pet a personality. We’ll be trying not to use rubber and just let your eyes and hand guide you.
