 Week 1
Lesson 1
LEARNING the TECHNIQUE by PAINTING A LION
In this project, we will all be painting the same picture of a lion. This lion is the perfect subject to help us learn the technique we will be using to complete our pet portrait.
Lesson 2
TAKING a GREAT PICTURE of YOUR PET
We are almost ready to get started with painting our own furry friend but before we do, let’s make sure we have the perfect photograph.
 Week 2
Lesson 3
PAINTING YOUR PETS HEAD
Today we officially start working on the portrait of our furry friend. Let’s take our winning photograph and transform it into a painting of our pets head.
Lesson 4
PICKING an OUTFIT
Now comes the really creative part…picking our outfit. This is your chance to look into the soul of your pet and figure out what their spirit animal is. Maybe your pet reminds you of a famous historical figure or you think they would be into Star Wars as much as you are?! Or your pet is mischievous and would make a great super villain.
 Week 3
Lesson 5
COMPOSING your PET PORTRAIT
Okay so now that we have all the pieces we need… let’s put them together. In this project you are going to spend some time arranging your pet’s head with the outfit you’ve picked.
Lesson 6
PROJECT 6: PAINTING your OUTFIT
Brilliant! Now we are ready to paint our outfit so that it matches the style of our pet’s head.
 Week 4
Lesson 7
ADDING a BACKGROUND & SIGNATURE
Let’s add a background to our portrait to make it extra special. Depending on your outfit, you may want to pick a background that matches your theme. We can look for a Coruscant background for Baby Yoda or a Hogwarts background for Harry Potter. I’ll also show you how to create a re-usable signature that you can start incorporating into all of your artwork.
Lesson 8
ORDERING your CANVAS
Unlike many digital artworks you’ll create that kinda get stuck in your iPad, my favourite thing about this project is that you can get your artwork printed and hang it on your wall. The corgi painting you’ve seen in my background only cost $25 to have printed online and shipped to my home.
Lesson 9
BONUS: FINISHING your CANVAS
If you had your portrait printed on canvas then you are probably thrilled with the result of your hardwork. But there is actually one last thing you can do to finish your portrait that will really make the painting look authentic. By applying a transparent medium (which is a fancy term for paint) to the surface of your canvas, we can incorporate additional texture that really makes it look like its been painted with a brush!
Lesson 10
