Theme for the month | Painting our Furry Friends

This month we lighten our hearts by painting and drawing those close to it, our beloved pets. Dominique will demonstrate the process of painting and drawing Bow and Luna, 2 adorable kittens and new members to her family. You can choose to paint your own pets, mine if you don’t have any or any other animal you would like. You can also choose to paint a master copy of an animal like Fabritius’s gold finch or a person with animal like Leonardo’s Lady with an Ermine. 

As always Dominique will demo and break down the process of painting into clear and consecutive steps and narrate the process as she paints. We will use a limited palette that is designed to help us understand color theory and color relationships. All students receive feedback in the group critiques each week. (so long as they post their work by the deadline).
