WORKSHOP

painting your pets

Learn how to make a portrait of your cat/dog/other cutie with watercolor. Don’t worry about being precise, the sillier the painting, the cuter they are! Together, we’ll let loose with some drawing and painting warm-ups, make some colorful collaborative paintings with your fellow classmates, and get started on your own duochromatic pet portrait. All supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own watercolor and drawing materials. 

Price: $40
