Pet portraits are a fun way to remember loved pets. They can be a great gift for someone and make them happy. We'll take a look at some techniques for drawing the portrait to get a better sense of proportion and volume. Then we explore mixing colors for animals. We paint undertones and add volume through shape and shadow. Finally, we add details and explore finishing touches.

There are many techniques in this video, such as wet-into-wet, dry brush, and detail painting. We also take a look at how to mix colors, determine shadows, and work a little with complimentary colors. The course is more intermediate in style. 

Take a look at the introduction video on how to choose a good photo of the work, and then we'll get started. This course will take a look at a step by step approach to painting a pet portrait. We take a look at some skills that will help us make better drawings and paintings.
