Dru Blair teaches this fur project as part of his popular Textures and Special Effects workshop.

Our Classroom in a Box fur kit offers unlimited review for under $75. Not only will you save hundreds of dollars, you will have the luxury of working at your own pace and in your own comfortable surroundings. You won't even need to take time off from work, book travel and lodging, or get a sitter for the kids or pets.
Special introductory sale for the no-tools/no-paint version. ONLY $29.95! Sale ends soon! |
| Our March Portrait workshop sold out, so we've added a new portrait workshop for August!
There's a reason this class is so popular. This portrait course is the most comprehensive airbrush course on the planet. It starts with color buffer theory, the 21 elements of vision, the 10 rules of realism, perception, color matching, error repairs, and that's just the first day!
The best part is that this course is designed with beginners in mind. When you are ready for REAL next-level training, we can take you there. Don't delay. This class will sell out too!

| | | Examining ways of learning art and airbrushing
There are many ways to learn how to paint, with each method having pros and cons. Here we will examine and compare methods of learning.
More than 95% of emerging artists give up out of frustration, and never attain their dreams of artistic excellence. Why? Because there is so much knowledge needed to gain command over the image, and it takes time to learn. |
