About the Workshop
Not sure where to begin with how to capture your favourite backyard birds within your art? This course will cover the basics of field sketching birds, understanding bird behavior, avian natural history, and capturing the iconic features of our feathered friends. You will be given the tools and confidence to bring life and charisma into your avian artworks.
Students will practice field sketching, as well as studio sketching and focus on particular avian features such as feathers, beak/feet texture, and anatomy.
By the end of the class students can expect to have multiple studies of birds and avian anatomical features, and sketches done in the field from observing real birds. Students will have an understanding of the research and study associated with accurately capturing birds through art.
