Pet and Animal Portrait Workshop – Artist Led

Suitable for: all levels

In this two-day artist-led intensive workshop you will learn how to create a lifelike oil portrait of your pet using the classical Alla Prima method, which means “all at once”. The portrait workshop is led by Stephen Gallagher and will take place in the Bridge Gallery surrounded by his beautiful portraits for Rescued.

Each lesson will begin with a live demo from Stephen, then you will be assisted individually with your own painting. You will learn about colour mixing, tonal values and the key techniques to bring your pet to life. What you will learn from Stephen’s workshop can be applied to any subject matter or genre—be it figurative, still life, or outdoor landscape painting.

At the end of the workshop you will go home with your own unique artwork created by you. All levels are welcome.
