Level 1: (Beginner) Pet Portrait Workshop

You will begin your journey to portrait painting by painting a likeness of your pet using your own photo that Kathie has *approved in advance.  During the workshop, you will learn the techniques for taking good photos, transferring likeness to canvas, underpainting, adding color washes, hair (fur), eyes, noses, etc.  Portrait painting techniques are employed.  

Level 2:  (Intermediate) Portrait Workshop

Once you have mastered the Pet Portrait techniques, you are ready to paint a likeness of a person using your own photo that Kathie has *approved in advance.   You will learn the techniques for taking good photos, transferring likeness to canvas, underpainting, adding color washes for skin tones, hair, eyes, teeth, fabrics, jewelry and other final details.  Portrait painting techniques are employed

Level 3:  (Advanced) Portrait or Pet Workshop

Once you have mastered both Level 1 Pet and Level 2 Portrait Workshops, you may attend any Portrait Workshop that is scheduled and Kathie will assist you with painting a likeness of either a Pet or a Face of your choice from a photograph that you bring to class.  (Level 3 students may bring your own canvas, up to size 18 X 24, basecoated in advance.  You may paint 1 or 2 faces, however,  you most likely will not finish your larger portrait in the 2 days.)  Portrait painting techniques are employed.   

* Levels 1 & 2:  You will need to email a good quality digital photo to Kathie for approval at (butterflykissesstudio@yahoo.com)
