Are we drawing the animals on the promo?

No you will be learning how to draw your own choice of pet

Will I be able to finish my pet portrait?

You will be able to finish your pet portrait or at least have enough info and guidance to finish it after the course is over.

This is primarily an adult class, but if your child is mature enough to work unsupervised they are most welcome. I would suggest that over 14 would be a good age.

Can I use Crayola coloured pencils?

You can use what ever you like, however professional coloured pencils will give you a much better result. I suggest you buy only the coloured pencils you need for the project and not buy a set. There are many coloured pencils for sale individually.

What paper should I buy?

We will be discussing paper, pencils and other helpful supplies in the first class, it is a good idea to wait till then to buy paper.
