For only £60 you will paint 3 full animal portraits with me, plus 8 time lapse tutorials. 

you will get access to 6-8 hours of video material.  

and if you don't complete the course in the 30 days, don't worry. You will keep access to all video materials. 

I love it when people share their art with me and I will give feedback when you ask for it. 

This course is for you: 

  • If you have always wanted to make pet portraits

  • If you have alcohol markers and you are not sure on how to use them

  • if you think you cannot draw- I will show you how

  • if you have a phone full of pictures of your furry friend

  • if you don't know where to start and you would like to draw as part of a creative community

  • if you are looking for a creative, fun and artful month. 

Do I need to be good at drawing to join?


This course is meant for people who have little drawing experience.  If you are completely new to drawing I would recommend you start with my sketchbook course. 

we all love our pets

And wouldn't it be great to use the pictures on your phone as references? 

In this course I will talk you though what a good reference picture looks like, how to set up your sketch, how we use alcohol markers combined with colour pencils and how we add details to our final artwork.

Letting go of perfectionism

The technique that I use is great for those of us who are secret perfectionists. the underpainting in marker allows for a little messy-ness and then we use colour pencils to add realism to our drawings.

Marker and pencil are a perfect match! 

What my creatives say

What Materials Do I need? 

The materials I recommend for the course are: 

  • -Drawing paper 

  • alcohol markers 

  • colour pencils 

  • a sketch pencil and eraser.

You can find my favourite art materials in the FAQ

If you would like to draw as part of a fun and inclusive group, why not check out the Makings & Musings Community. 

In the community we draw and paint together twice a month, you will find art tutorials and lots of inspiration. 

The community is perfect if you want to experiment with materials, if you are looking for a reason to make time for art and it is the perfect place to share your work in a safe non-judgemental environment!

 

Hands on approach

I love a no-nonsense approach to art as the best way to learn is by creating.

we start with quick sketches and I invite you to draw along from the start. 

 

My goal is to get you comfortable with drawing as the more you draw, the easier it gets.  

You will learn a technique that you can later use for other artworks! I would love to see your own pet portraits! 

How does it work?

During the course you can see what I do as if you are looking over my shoulder. I explain each step I take and you can see exactly what movements I make. 

If you sign up today you will immediately have access to all video's

Share your work

after each session I ask you to share your artwork with me, if you do that in the course I am the only person who will see it and I can give feedback if you like.  

You can also share your artwork in the discussion group where all course participants can see it. (This may sound scary but it's a great step towards sharing your artwork with the world eventually if that's something you want to do.)
