Have you ever wanted to be able to tell a little more in a painting? More about your subject and where they have been and what they are like? In this class we will be creating pet portraits using layers of color and visual texture using papers, stencils and marks. We will grid our pet image in the midst of the wonderful chaos and go from there. Happy accidents abound!
