Aside from landscape, the subject most people want to paint is their pet, usually a dog. Fairly simple on the surface, but in practice pretty tricky. This class is designed to get you on the right track, covering aspects of palette, composition, features and fur brushwork. It is designed for students with at least some experience with acrylic paints. The class will cover two different breeds of dogs, the Collie & Labrador retriever.
