Pet Portraits Workshop with Ana Schwar

Description

Turn your favorite pet photo into a lasting work of art with Acrylic Painter Ana Schwar! All levels welcome. Celebrate your furry (or feathered!) friends through acrylic painting. Learn step-by-step techniques to create a unique portrait of your pet—from transferring your photo to canvas and mixing colors that capture fur and features, to adding expressive details that bring your pet's personality to life. Please email the photograph of your pet to chabelamaal@gmail.com two weeks before the workshop so I can size it and print it to have it ready to transfer to the canvas.
