Robert Warren's Wildlife/Animal Teacher Certification Program

Wildlife paintings are challenging and very rewarding. The popularity of wildlife is evident by the enthusiasm shown by our students. It is one of the world's oldest art subjects i.e., cave drawings from prehistoric times. During each level, there will be emphasis and lessons on history, color theory, composition, perspective, and drawing skills. Robert will show you the correct way to simplify complex subjects and break them down into easy to follow methods. Suggested study programs will be personalized for each individual in order to create an easier transition into the next level.

We plan on restarting the program with the Entry level in 2011, the intermediate level in 2012 and the advanced level in 2013.

Wildlife Certification Entry Level: $500

This six day seminar will cover a broad range of animal related techiques. The main focus will be to truly refine the fundamentals of wildlife painting. Starting with the basic elements and anatomy of animals, we will concentrate on both domestic and exotic examples. The focus of this seminar will be to review and truly refine the fundamentals of animal anatomy. We will study and paint many examples of eyes, ears, mouths, noses, hair patterns and textures which will serve as great samples to take home. 

Wildlife/Animal Intermediate Level: $500

This seminar will include more animal examples and challenging details. Extensive examples of hair, feathers,  and skin texture will be explored as well as composition and background scenes. There will be a focus on individual strengths and weaknesses while heightening the learning process. Students will complete three challenging paintings: a dramatic cougar, a pastoral horse and a delicate bird. All students enrolling in this seminar must have completed a Wildlife/Animal Entry level seminar.
