Watercolors give you the opportunity to paint with expressiveness, color, and storytelling. For artist Sarah Stokes, watercolor painting is also a meditative practice. She specializes in wildlife art and has had her work displayed in galleries around the world.

In this course, Sarah takes you through the steps you need to create enchanting portraits of animals that highlight the beauty of the world around us. Follow your intuition and elevate your watercolor skills with a range of different techniques.

This is Sarah’s third Domestika course. In her first two, Artistic Watercolor Techniques for Illustrating Birds and Artistic Charcoal Portraiture: Creating Atmosphere, she explores other subjects and materials you can use to express yourself.
