Pet Portraits
Our "Pet
Portraits" class will guide you through the entire process of creating
a pet portrait. Bring photos of any pet: cat, dog, bird, hamster, whatever
you desire!
The class begins with a study
of each pet: proper composition, placement, contrasts, backround options,
etc. We will then use "help methods" to resize and transfer your pet portrait
image as necessary. After a refresher in basic painting techniques,
the pet portrait is painted with acrylics with guidance from your instructor.
Special
note from instructor Brian Bullard: "hundreds of students have adored the
portraits of my cats displayed in the school. When painting clients realize
I can do pet portraits they are "hooked". Almost anyone is willing to pay
good money for a portrait of their pet, and I have painted them on canvas
as well as into murals throughout the years".
Uses: Pet portraits for use
on canvas, in murals, on furniture as well as other objects.
