Pet Pawtrait - a Little Art School Workshop
Early Bird Special! Until August 17th :)
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at painting your favourite fur child but can't draw? Would you love to create an acrylic painting to give someone special for a one of a kind gift but don't know where to start? Sign up for Pet Pawtrait, send through some decent resolution photos of your muse (animal), I will select the best one (run it by you, of course) and draw up a simplified template on a canvas for you. You get the fun part of painting it! A little similar to paint by numbers but you get to decide on the colour scheme. In this one day workshop, I will coach you through the painting process to a successful final pet portrait.
Set in a fun and nurturing environment in the heart of Wanaka. This class is aimed at beginners, people who would love to try painting or folk looking to create a thoughtful, unique gift for someone special.
