This is workshop is for those who are already experienced in using Acrylic paints and who wish to experience the joy of producing Animal Portraits. We will use an example of a Red Setter as a common subject and explore the various methods of creating the features of most animals. After the workshop artists should gain the skills and knowledge that they can take forth and produce similar animal portraits in the future.
