Animals have their own unique features and expressions (as any pet owner knows!). Using photos of a fur-bearing pet or wild animal for reference, here’s your chance to create an original portrait that captures its personality. Drawing with pastel pencil on toned paper, Helen’s demos and individualized instruction will guide you in rendering accurate proportions, challenging textures such as fur, and more.
**Please note: materials are not included. You will find a downloadable link to the materials list once you have registered.
