Description
Learn to Paint in Acrylic!
Anyone can copy a painting.
But learning how to truly bring an animal to life with paint is something else entirely.
In this live workshop, Aaron Blaise will guide you step-by-step through painting a stunning cheetah portrait in acrylic, sharing not just technique, but the thinking behind every stroke.
For over 20 years, Aaron helped create unforgettable characters at Disney, working on films like The Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, and directing Brother Bear. Most recently, he returned to hand-drawn storytelling with the award-winning short Snow Bear.
Now he’s bringing that same depth of artistry into painting, live.
