Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
You'll explore dry brush techniques, layering and freehand strokes, learning how direction, colour and tonal variation can suggest different types of fur. The focus is on creating form and texture without needing to paint every individual hair.
Working from a photograph, you'll practise these techniques while creating a painting of a cat or dog.
What to bring
Please bring a clear photograph of your own cat or dog, preferably one where the face and fur are clearly visible. Reference images will also be available if you don't have a pet photograph.
Suitable for beginners. All painting materials are provided.
