Description
This class will guide you step by step on how to draw a simple cat portrait using pencil, and then paint it using gouache paints. You do not need any drawing or painting experience to join this class and this project is suitable for teens. This project will also work for watercolors and acrylics, but oils are not recommended (the suggested supplies below are the materials the instructor will be using). You may paint the same cat as the instructor or you are welcome to change up the details and paint your own furry friend! (The guide for drawing the cat is linked below, as well as the reference we will be using)
