Course Description:

During this two week session workshop we will create a likeness of a bust of your fur baby using the grid method. In addition to ended up with a great painting of your beloved pet, you will also leave the class with a better knowledge of gouache, how to use it and its benefits. Acrylic Gouache is an opaque watercolor, so you get the flow of watercolor with the opacity of an acrylic paint. This is going to be a laid back, fun workshop.
