Creative Grooming: Tiger Stripes 
with Angela Kumpe

Angela Kumpe is a master of creative grooming.  She's shown you some airbrushing basics in previous videos, and in this lesson she takes her technique to the next level.

 

In this video, Angela layers colors to transform this sweet Chihuahua into a tiger.  She uses an airbrush as well as traditional paint brushes to achieve the right look.  The products and paint can be purchased just about anywhere either online or at your neighborhood hobby store.  

 

Throughout the video you'll get lots of great pet handling and artistic tips.  You don't need to be a painting master to do this - and if you make a mistake, it washes out with degreasing shampoo!  This technique can be used anytime - from Halloween to everything in between!    

   

Approximate total running time:  13 minutes 

   

In this video you will learn:

  • what tools to use - and when to use them.
  • how to use layers to get the right look.
  • how to earn cooperation from a wiggly pet.
  • where to get supplies.
  • ways to utilize this technique for special occasions.
