Becoming A Fearless Painter: Animal Instincts with Odin Smith

Join Odin in a series of sessions that change their directive each month and are devoted to working in a smaller and more intensive learning environment, to improve specific artistic skills.

In January, the focus will be painting animals. Students will gain skills in painting the fur, eyes, noses and bodies of our favorite furry friends. Learn how to layer paint to build beautiful textured or silky fur, give depth and soul to animal’s eyes, render believable body shapes and give them life, personality and presence. Please bring several photos or your favorite animals, domestic or wild, and any size canvas that you choose. If you need a live model, I may have my dog, Finn, who may be willing to sit for you…..for cookies.

These classes will help artists to become more confident in their own skills and bring a sense of self and creativity to their own work. Taking risks will be encouraged! Must be on an intermediate to advanced level and must have their own acrylic supplies.
