Celebrate your furry best friend in this fun and beginner-friendly watercolour workshop. Using a reference photo of your dog, you'll learn how to create an expressive portrait that captures their unique personality and charm.
Bring along a clear photo of your pet (ideally showing the head and part of the body), and we'll guide you through the process step by step. Starting with simple sketching techniques, you'll learn to break down your dog's features into simple shapes before bringing them to life with loose, layered watercolour.
Perfect for beginners and dog lovers alike, this workshop focuses on capturing your pet's essence and character rather than creating a highly detailed or realistic painting. By the end of the session, you'll take home a heartfelt A4 watercolour portrait of your beloved companion.
