Peggy Harris
Decorative Painting
Peggy Harris is a professional wildlife painter, designer, author, and teacher.
Her love of baby animals led to her painting them, and public demand soon dictated that she find a way to paint them that was better and faster than the traditional hair-by-hair method. She soon developed a system to create realistic fur and feathers in a modicum of time. This method has become known as the “Harris Method.”
Using a limited palette, gel mediums, the “wrong” brushes the “wrong” way and some everyday items, such as q-tips and cotton balls, Peggy teaches painters how to achieve a wonderfully soft and furry look in a reasonable amount of time.
Peggy has inspired thousands of artists though her teachings, whether on her public television series, “Peggy Harris’ Paintable Kingdom,” or through her workshops and seminars across the country. While she strives to constantly simplify techniques so that everyone can paint darling, cuddly creatures, her main goal is to teach painters to “see” better so that they may continue to improve, no matter what their skill level.
Following the success of her television how, Peggy began to publish books, including “Adorable Baby Animals” and “Sing a Happy Song,” published by Plaid Enterprises. Peggy lives in the wooded hills outside of Nashville, TN where she is surrounded by the inspiration of nature. She travels the country attending seminars, conventions, and Society of Decorative Painting Chapters where she teaches her method to hundreds of appreciative students!
