"Paint Your Pet" Watercolor Mastery Workshop

Welcome to this watercolor workshop filmed in studio at the David J Rogers Fine Art Gallery in beautiful Morro Bay, California.

This digital Watercolor Mastery Workshop will be structured a little differently than any previous workshop you have attended with us, and will be packed with even more valuable information!

Instead of a finished project painting, we'll be learning and practicing how to paint different aspects of a typical pet portrait - from how to paint different types and colors of fur, all the way to capturing the soul of your pet in watercolor.

This entire workshop will be filled with everything you need to know to confidently paint any kind of pet you can think of, and after learning and practicing all of the principles and techniques within the workshop, your project painting will be for you to take what you've learned in the workshop and paint a portrait of your own pet!

I will share with you my step-by-step process for creating beautiful and convincing pet portraits. I'll walk you through all of the techniques and concepts I have developed over several years of creating portraits of many different kinds of animals!

This is a workshop designed for artists of all skill levels. Here's just some of what we'll be covering in this Watercolor Mastery Workshop "Paint Your Pet"...
