Celebrate your furry (or feathered!) friend in this hands-on pet portrait painting workshop taught by Niko!
In this beginner-friendly class, you'll create a custom portrait of your beloved pet using gouache paint. No painting experience? No problem. Your pet will be lightly sketched onto the paper before class, so you can skip the drawing stage and jump right into painting with confidence.
Gouache is a a vibrant, versatile paint that flows like watercolor but layers like acrylic and in this class you'll learn foundational techniques for color mixing, layering, and expressive brushwork while bringing your pet's personality to life.
By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with a finished portrait you'll be proud to display, along with new painting skills and the confidence to continue exploring gouache at home.
