Fur Baby Pile: Creating Cozy Critters with Ink and Watercolor
Paint a cozy FurBabyPile featuring a snuggly puppies, kitty, and bird in this fun, beginner-friendly watercolor and ink class with illustrator Lori Vafiades. You’ll learn easy techniques—no drawing skills required—and take home a matted 8x10 painting, two bookmarks, and the reusable pattern to create more at home.
This class is the third in a 4-part series, so sign up for this one—and grab the finale one as well!
This is an adult-level class, but mature kids ages 14 and up are welcome to attend if they can work independently and stay engaged for the full two hours. A parent or guardian must also be registered and present in the class.
