Painting Animals, Large!

In this exciting camp, students will start by learning the fundamental techniques of sketching, focusing on the basic shapes and structures that make up various animals. We’ll explore different animal forms, from breaking down their bodies into simple shapes that will serve as the foundation for our drawings. Once the basics are mastered, each student will choose one animal to bring to life on a large canvas. Valuable painting techniques, including shading, blending, and creating texture, will be covered. Materials included, a $40 material fee will be applied at checkout,
