Every pet has a personality worth capturing, and this workshop is a great way to learn how. Ottavia will guide you step‑by‑step through creating an expressive watercolor sketch from a photograph—starting with a simple pencil layout, moving into clean ink outlines, and finishing with lively watercolor layers that bring your subject to life. You’ll learn how to simplify shapes, suggest texture, and use thoughtful mark-making to highlight the charm of your furry (or feathered!) companion. It’s a relaxed, beginner‑friendly workshop that encourages play, observation, and personal connection.
Feel free to bring a reference photo—or a couple—if you’d like to sketch your own pet. Supplies are not included in the workshop fee. A PDF supply list is available in the workshop description.
NOTE: For all administrative questions—such as registration issues, cancellations, or workshop attendance—please contact Arlene’s directly. Instructors are not responsible for handling these matters. You can reach us at [email protected] or call during store hours at (518) 482-8881.
Our courses are typically held in the lower level of Arlene's. Because access to the lower level is available only by stair, please let us know if using the stairs presents any difficulty for you in advance of the class so we can make alternate arrangements. We want to make sure everyone is able to enjoy and participate in our classes.
