Norman Mayer Library

Meeting Room

Experiment with blind contour drawing, doodling, and painting to create a colorful abstract animal portrait. Bring a photo of your favorite animal, or choose one of ours. No artistic talent required!

With the help of an in-person instructor, we'll follow the Creativebug class "Doodle and Paint an Animal Portrait"

In this fun and improvisational course, artist Jennifer Mercede shows you how to make expressive, exciting animal portraits in her signature style. Self proclaimed fan of “scribbling, doodling, being silly and expressive,” Jennifer walks you through how to pick the ideal pet portrait and using blind contour drawing to free you from the restrictions of perfection. You’ll learn how to intuitively pick colors and use lettering and playful mark-making to add textural depth to your portrait. 

All supplies are provided, including a selection of animal images to inspire your portrait, but you're encouraged to bring photos of your pet or another favorite animal you'd like to paint. 

Registration is recommended as space is limited. Walk-ins welcome for any remaining space.

About the branch

Norman Mayer Library is named for New Orleans businessman and one of the original Tulane College of Commerce and Business guarantors, Norman Mayer.
