Animals are an essential part of both our natural and personal worlds. How we relate to them both as an individual and an artist can be a lead to endless inspiration. This workshop will invite students to explore the idea of animals as a primary subject matter. As we dive into the learning experience, we will look at examples of the many approaches to portraying animals. Additionally, drawing and painting techniques will be included to further strengthen the skills required to create a strong work of art. I look forward to teaching each individual through conversation, example, demonstrations and hands-on learning. And in this 3 day workshop will walk each participant through the process of creating one painting from a beginning concept to understanding a good finishing point.

• A choice of reference will be offered.
• Please note; Solid drawing skills are required as a foundation for this class as well as some experience with oil paint.
