Event Location: The Hay Barn Hampshire, Alton, Hampshire, UK

Join natural history artist James Winrow on this inspirational one day workshop

introducing the techniques and tools he uses to capture the character and delicate

beauty of birds.

Drawing has been used for thousands of years to record, observe, celebrate and honour

the natural world around us. This bird portrait workshop enables you to experience

this ancient tradition using modern materials and techniques.

Working exclusively with the mineral of graphite, James will show you how to craft

a stunning portrait of a bird in a natural history illustration style. Using freehand

and scientific illustration techniques, you will learn basic and advanced methods of

applying graphite, and go through the process of creating a detailed illustration from

start to finish.

You will leave with a beautiful bird portrait and a deeper appreciation and

understanding of the depth and richness of the natural world around us - a renewed

sense of wonder!

All abilities are welcomed.
