Welcome to Art by Karie-Ann

Welcome to Art by Karie-Ann – Realistic Pet & Wildlife Art Tutorials
I’m a self-taught UK artist with a passion for creating lifelike pet portraits, expressive wildlife art, and emotionally resonant scenes using pastel pencils, PanPastels, and coloured pencils. After years of running a successful commission-based business and demonstrating at art shows, I began teaching from my home studio—sharing the techniques people kept asking about.
Now, I’m expanding online to offer easy-to-follow art tutorials for beginners and experienced artists alike. Whether you want to learn how to draw realistic fur, master animal features, or create scenic backgrounds, my tutorials are designed to be simple, repeatable, and packed with practical tips.
Explore my site to access free tutorials, step-by-step video courses, and exclusive content through my newsletter—including early bird offers and downloadable reference photos.
