Join well known regional artist, Mary Jane Erard for a fun event making a beautiful pet Portrait in watercolor and pastels. Mary Jane will take her students through the steps to successfully create a beautiful pet portrait. All skill levels welcomed. Perfect for the beginning student
Bring a source photo of any pet or animal. Students are welcome to bring their own pastel supplies if they have some on hand, and would like MJ to teach them how to better use what they own. Beginner friendly class!
Please bring a source photo of your pet, 8 1/2″ X 11″, in color, on “regular” thin copy paper. Print your image is on an 8.5″ X 11″ copy or computer paper. It can be on black and white, as long as you have an image in color. Your pet’s image should be large and centered on your paper. Small images are not recommended. You will want your image to fill most of your paper. Remember, these images will be transferred to your pastel paper and this image is what you will use to create your pet’s portrait.
Necessary Supplies to bring or buy: A printed 8.5 x 11 photo of your pet and any pastels the student may already own in the colors of your animal or use your instructor’s supply (not necessary, but helpful).
Mary Jane will help students draw or trace their pet on pastel paper during the first part of the of class, followed by a short demo of how to use pastel and plenty of one on one instruction. Assistance will be given to all students, as per your need. This class is SUPER FUN and often sells out quickly. All students, regardless of skill level, leave this workshop with a very cute pastel portrait of their pet perfect for holiday gift giving. NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL please
