Learn how to draw the birds in your backyard in this art workshop taught by naturalist and wildlife illustrator Jack Hobe! Participants will learn tricks for capturing birds like crows, jays and magpies (corvids) on paper before they fly away, using easy-to-learn gesture sketching techniques. Jack will also walk through pointers on how to simplify birds’ feathers, wings, tails and feet. Backyard birds can be challenging and feisty subjects to draw, but Jack’s passion for birding and art will help you to demystify feather patterns, movements, form and behavior. No art or drawing experience required—beginners and advanced artists alike will learn something new! Bring a sketchbook, mechanical or drawing pencil, and colored pencils/watercolor (if desired).
