Animals are an endless source of inspiration. Learn to paint a variety of animals, from cute to powerful and pets to wildlife, in the expressive medium of watercolor. Practice fundamental watercolor techniques such as washes, gradations, textural effects, wet on wet, wet on dry, dry brush, and more. Learn to capture specific characteristics such as scales, fur, feathers, colors, expressions, and movement for more realistic and accurate paintings. Work from provided animal images of mammals, fish, and birds for a diversity of surface and expressive concerns, or bring your own photographic subjects (no live animals!). Basic drawing experience recommended.
