Lisa Ober, PSA, is available to teach a two-day hands on workshop sharing her experience creating life like pastel pet portraits. Lisa’s step-by-step approach to teaching pastel portraiture insures that when this workshop is complete students will know how to develop a pet portrait from the first sketch through signing the painting.
Lisa will provide great tips for photographing pets in order to get the most flattering reference poses. She will talk through the secrets to creating absolutely pet-able fur whether painting cats, dogs, horses, or other furry creatures. She will address the special issues of photographing and painting all black or all white fur, a common challenge. Lisa will also show you how to make incredibly life-like eyes, a critical component for a realistic pet portrait.
Regardless of how much experience students have painting animals, they will be thrilled to learn all the “tricks” of the trade Lisa has mastered through decades of portrait painting. Every student will have the opportunity to paint a pastel pet portrait (probably a dog) with plenty of Lisa's personal guidance and encouragement. Students will be provided with a reference photo for this particularly fun and casual class.
