Pet Portraits: Color with Attitude!Expression Over Accuracy with Christopher Davis
Forget perfect fur, exact colors, and photo-realistic details. In this lively, expressive workshop, artist Christopher Davis will show you how to capture what really makes a pet portrait work — personality, character, and attitude.
Using Christopher’s bold, colorful approach as inspiration, you’ll learn how to look beyond the photograph and make creative choices with color, marks, shapes, and expression. The goal isn’t to reproduce your pet exactly. It’s to create a portrait that feels like them.
Bring a clear photo of your favorite furry friend and spend the afternoon turning it into a colorful, personality-filled work of art. Christopher will guide you through the process while encouraging you to loosen up, experiment, and develop your own interpretation.
In this workshop, you’ll explore:
Simplifying a reference photo into useful shapes and forms
Capturing personality and expression
Using unexpected color with confidence
Creating energetic marks, lines, and textures
Choosing expression over photographic accuracy
Developing a finished pet portrait that is uniquely yours
No advanced drawing or painting experience is required. This workshop is designed for artists who want to experiment, have fun, and discover a more expressive way to create.
