About this Event
In this guided demo, you will learn how to use colours from the Liquitex Heavy Body range, combined with Fluid and Gel mediums, to capture your pet’s unique personality in acrylic. Alice will walk you through the process step by step, sharing tips and techniques along the way.
All supplies are provided, so there is nothing to prepare in advance! Just bring a 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 printed headshot of your favourite animal as your reference photo.
This hands-on, immersive class is a great opportunity to explore Liquitex acrylic products, experiment with different techniques, and build your confidence as a painter. You will leave with new skills and a one-of-a-kind keepsake celebrating a beloved furry friend.
Join us for a creative, relaxed session filled with colour, learning, and plenty of fun!
Participants will enjoy 30% off on all Liquitex products in-store on the day of the workshop.
