This art workshop will be very different from a typical watercolor class. Using opaque paints (especially white) with transparent watercolor and a variety of brushes, Edwina’s unique step-by-step methods will teach you how to paint life-like pet pawtraits of our furry children. Concentration will be on painting dogs, but the techniques will apply to cats and other animals as well. Topics include changing how you see, choosing good photo references, planning your painting, transferring images onto paper, backgrounds, painting various colors & textures of fur, capturing personality, and painting detailed facial features. Participants will practice painting several small elements and then apply the techniques learned to the main demonstration painting. Paint along with Edwina and learn to paint the Australian Shepherd used to advertise this workshop, or work on an individual subject from your own, or one of Edwina’s reference photos that she will provide.
Please see the Downloads tab for more information if applicable. Pre-class instructions, specific details, and a supply list will be emailed when you register for the workshop.
Level 2 (and up) - Beginner-Intermediate: Reviews basic techniques for beginners as needed, and offers practice exercises at an average pace to assist in gaining confidence and experience with the medium. Assistance is given to all.

In 2000, she was chosen to be the Official Artist for the North Carolina Public Library System’s annual statewide Summer Reading Program for Children & Teens.
In addition to animal and landscape paintings, she has hand-painted signs, saw blades, Christmas ornaments, an occasional portrait, and the entire fleet of 30 carousel horses (on 4 different occasions), as well as a life-size detailed mural of a steam locomotive and a black light mural for an amusement park. In 2017, she illustrated a Children’s Book, written by a North Carolina author, about a little puppy finding its forever home.

She was the In-Person Workshop Coordinator for 15 of those years, before developing, coordinating, and hosting the Virtual Workshop program beginning in 2020.
