Horses, birds, reptiles, canines, felines, even fish. We paint creatures based on animals and humanoids who ride them, carry them, or wear their skins. This class will discuss a wide variety of animal types, their colors and patterns, and some variations to help make your work stand out of the herd. Animal coloration follows rules, and weâll talk about how to use them to make exotic color choices work. A color reference booklet will be provided.
