Taught by Jennifer Orkin Lewis
Jennifer Orkin Lewis (also known as August Wren on Instagram) is a champion of daily painting practice, devoting half an hour each day to creating the loose and colorful paintings for which she’s known. In this month-long series, Jennifer applies her signature style to one of her favorite subjects: animals! Working from photo references (included in a PDF with the class), Jennifer shows how to simplify and stylize your animal paintings to make them your own. Each day, Jennifer shows her approach to painting critters of all shapes and sizes – from farm animals to deep sea creatures – providing opportunity for all skill levels to practice.

Very good teacher. She goes slow enough so that you can easily follow along. Good ideas on how to add depth and dimention to animals.

I didnt' like it to be honest. I was excited to learn how to draw and paint animals but the teacher goes super fast and I felt lost several times.
