Birds have their own unique forms and features, and learning to draw them is a challenge and joy. We will look at some tips and guidelines for drawing birds, including types of observations that help with identification and drawing (such as GISS, or General Impression of Size and Shape). Then there's a guided drawing/painting activity where, if possible, we will work from a live bird. This class is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have done some drawing.
No supplies are required, but if you are encouraged to bring drawing supplies of your own if you wish. There will be paper, pencils, and pens as well as watercolors for those who are interested.
This class will be taught by Anne Greenwood, a member of DLAMN and an accomplished nature journalist.
