DescriptionI love animals! And I love making art featuring animals. Since becoming a professional artist I've made hundreds of animals in a variety of media. I never get tired of the subject and in fact, my stylized watercolor mixed media animals are my favorites!In this course, we'll go through three animal portraits from start to finish: a rabbit, a toad and a long haired cat. We'll draw, use watercolors, ink markers and colored pencils. I have also provided narrated time lapse movies of three more animals: a lion, a giraffe and a hamster. Not only that, but there are three practice lessons for you as well.There is also a video full of other animals as well. I'd encourage you to pause frequently during this video so you can really study the painting and hatchmarks in each. You'll see that there is no right or wrong. The same techniques that are used on the long hair cat can be used on the short fur of a horse.I provide a video with ideas that are alternatives to free hand drawing if that makes you nervous. There are also lessons about flattening your art, framing, and materials we'll be using. So if you want a fresh take on animal portraits, let's get started! :)
