If you’ve ever tried to create a pet portrait for friends and family but struggled, or want to improve your skills, the London Art College’s Pet Portraits Diploma is the perfect course to get you started. Designed for budding artists of all skill levels, this course takes you through the essentials of creating lifelike portraits of cats, dogs, and other beloved animals. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or looking to refine your technique, the structured lessons and expert guidance will help you build confidence and develop your own artistic style.
One of the highlights of this course is learning to use various mediums like pastels, coloured pencils, and paints to bring fur, eyes, and expressions to life. For example, student Patricia Elliott created a stunning pastel portrait of a cat that beautifully captures the animal’s softness and unique character. It’s the kind of work that makes this course so rewarding for animal lovers and art enthusiasts alike.
