She’s truly an inspiration!
I often struggle with identifying the colors and I loved it! The way Erica teaches (on camera) is very calming and easy to follow. I learned to blend and smooth out the colors in the eyes so they look softer and soulful. She’s truly an inspiration! 🙏💐

This course is jampacked!
I stumbled upon Erica on Instagram and was open to learning new techniques. This course is jam packed. Erica really helped me look for the colors in the eyes, and I especially enjoyed blending and working wet-on-wet when possible. She gives her all when teaching and sharing. She’s very open, giving person and I’m very grateful for her knowledge and talent.

It was inspiring and encouraging
I love painting animals but I find painting realistic eyes very difficult. I loved the way Erica painted eyes and doing her course was very inspiring and encouraging. I specifically liked the way she used different tones for the pupil and the reflection in the eye.

HOW TO PAINT SOULFUL EYES
This course is for you if you want to grow your confidence, connect with your creativity and learn how to make those animal eyes come alive on your canvas.
How do you make those eyes look so real?
With a long waitlist for my pet portraits, I get this question all the time. That’s why I created an online course to gently guide you how to paint a dog’s soulful eyes so you too can paint animals full of life. Without the ‘soul’ or the magic in a pet’s eyes the painting falls flat, and along with it, your dream of painting animals full of essence and character.
How to Paint Soulful Eyes is designed for you to successfully complete a beautiful and soulful dog’s eye and to level up as a painter.
Learn with Ease
Here’s the truth: Once you start painting pets, you realize those eyes are HARD. Without the soul or the magic in a pet’s eyes the painting falls flat, and along with it, your dream of painting animals full of essence and character.
But where do you start? I’ve been there. And I know how disheartening it can be. It took me a long time before I dared painting pets for this reason alone. Now, my custom pet paintings lead to a place of healing for my clients all over the world.
In this easy-to-follow video on-demand course I give you the tools you need.
It was so exciting to see the painting come to life!
“I really liked the illustrations and photos Erica provided for all the steps. This was a fun experience during a busy time in my life. I definitely recommend it to other beginners as long as you’re up for a fun and sometimes challenging time. I’m really pleased with how my painting turned out and I enjoyed learning this way.”

LEARN with ERICA ERIKSDOTTER
sought after pet portrait painter
My name is Erica and I paint custom pet portraits that grief counselors say can help my customers work through losing a pet. One of the reasons for the long waitlist for my pet portraits is those soulful eyes. One of the keys to painting animals is to paint the eyes full of soul and that captures the true essence of the animal.
But painting eyes hasn’t always come easy for me.
I avoided painting eyes for a long time because I knew how important they were in getting juuust right. The eyes are the most important part of a portrait and if I couldn’t get them right, why would I even bother?
After many pet portraits later and grateful customers all over the world, I’m here to guide you with my proven process to make sure you succeed.
I love to teach and empower students whether they are reconnecting to their creativity, are budding artists or seasoned pet portrait artists. No matter what level you are at or what in season of life – these’s something for everyone in my course and resources.
I can’t wait for you to paint animal eyes that you’re proud to share. Let’s do this!
