This 6 week course will show participants how to paint animals using acrylic paint. Using a photo of their choice, attendees will learn about composition and how to proportionality draw their animal on a canvas or wooden support. A class will be spent on colour mixing and group critiques will happen in the last 2 weeks.

During the 6 weeks, you will also learn about building up paint layers and how to use highlights and shadows to make your painting more dynamic. This course will also introduce participants on how to add and use patterned paper to create texture and/or deal with uninteresting areas of the background.
