This studio course invites students to explore the world of animal portraiture under the guidance of accomplished Utah artist Lindsay Frei. Designed for artists of all levels, the class blends foundational drawing and painting skills with advanced strategies for capturing the individuality, anatomy, and emotional presence of our pets.
Students will study proportion, structure, and gesture as they learn to translate observation into expressive, lifelike portraits. Through demonstrations, guided practice, and personalized critique, the instructor will introduce approaches to composition, lighting, color harmony, and mark‑making that elevate animal portraiture beyond simple likeness. Emphasis is placed on developing a personal artistic voice while gaining confidence in both traditional and contemporary techniques.
By the end of the course, students will complete a portrait of their pet and build a stronger understanding of how to portray character, mood, and narrative through animal subjects. This class is ideal for artists seeking to expand their portfolio, deepen their technical skill, or simply celebrate the unique spirit of dogs through art.
