I have just completed the Pet Portraits Course with Gayle Mason and I was thrilled to find out I received a distinction. I enjoyed the course more than I thought possible and can’t thank tutor Gayle Mason enough for her expertise, encouragement and helpful guidance.
Before I started this I had only done a few shaky pencil drawings. The process takes you through different stages using various media. I never dreamed I would venture this far. My hare drawing was in coloured pencil which is a medium I am starting to favour and more versatile than I thought.
The ‘Weimeraner’ Portrait was drawn in pastels and I love the alert pose of the two dogs. My favourite has to be ‘Bella’ our friends miniature Schnauzer. This was painted in Acrylics and I was lucky to catch this lovely pose of her on camera in our kitchen. I can’t recommend this course enough to those who are thinking of venturing into the world of animal art!
