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.
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 jam packed!
“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.”

You made me feel like I could follow along and succeed.
“Erica, you are an amazing teacher. I love how you take it step by step. You show us your palette and the way you mix the colors. I have watched so many lesson of instructors that don’t show the palette. You don’t see the mixing of the color and it matters. How much water and how much white to create a grey ect. The video was at a great pace. I didn’t have to slow it down to catch up. A lot of teachers forget their audience is learning. You made me feel like I could follow along and succeed. I highly recommend Erica’s classes!”

Hi, I’m Erica
Hi, I’m Erica, a third-generational painter who has been painting for over 35 years. I’m dedicated to helping you find creative joy through painting pet portraits. I believe creative energy is an abundant resource for us all to tap into. Creative joy is the key to a fulfilled life.
For me, to paint is to breathe. In fact, I sold my first painting at the age of 10. Today I’m a professional pet portrait painter with a long waitlist for my high-end custom pet portraits.
But painting pets and their soulful 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 *just* right. The eyes are the most important part of a portrait and if I couldn’t get them right, how could I lead pet parents to happier feelings?
After many successful 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!
