The painting and preliminary study below was completed for the final assignment of the course. We are thrilled that Diana enjoyed the course and completed it successfully. Diana sent Gail an introduction to herself and her experiences which we have added below. In addition we\u00a0hope you enjoy reading about Diana and viewing her work.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I hope to be able to draw horses, cats and hopefully acquire the knowledge and skill to enable me to draw birds of prey or just birds! Furthermore I\u2019d like to have commissions to draw animals mostly cats. I love cats and have five.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My experience to date has been zero in drawing animals. Not that I have never had the desire to. Due to never drawing any animals before, and was amazed at the fact that I could actually draw cats and dogs. I loved drawing them and bring them to life if I could. Consequently I realised their eyes are the most important part. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">I love to draw trees and countryside but I am not that good at it. Also I like to draw abstract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition I am looking forward to using other media on this course but I like graphite and coloured pencil. Almost hopeless with pastel but will give it a go! I am really looking forward to this course and to working with Gayle.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Finally we wish Diana the best of luck with her future pet portraits along with continuing to enjoy her art journey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Would you like to join our Pet Portraits Diploma Course just like Diana?\u00a0Why not pop over to our website &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonartcollege.co.uk\/\">London Art College<\/a> and take a look at what you need to do to enrol today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Diana-Leighton-43547-pp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5508\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Diana-Leighton-43547-pp.jpg\" alt=\"Pet Portraits Diploma\" width=\"645\" height=\"763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Diana-Leighton-43547-pp.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Diana-Leighton-43547-pp-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Diana-Leighton-43547-pp-300x355.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diana Leighton has just completed her Pet Portraits Diploma course tutored by Gayle Mason.
