Pet portraits by Rachel Linnemeier
Patti West
If you missed the previous class in June, you have another chance to create a beautiful watercolor painting of your favorite fluffy friend! In this two-week course given by instructor Rachel Linnemeier, you will learn how to transfer your reference photo to paper, find bright colors within your image, slowly build your image from light to dark, and create volume and depth in fur. The class sessions will be from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Nov. 3.
To help get started on your painting, email or text a photo of your pet to Rachel at [email protected] or 260-223-3331 at least one week before class begins. She will create a simplified line drawing of your pet. Try to have a close-up detailed photo of your pet. Tip: To get a good photo to use, record a video of your pet, then pause the video and take a screenshot of the exact pose you like.
