How to Draw Birds: a nature sketching workshop at Morris Arboretum

May 4, 2024 @ 10:00 am 11:30 am

Learn how to draw our feathered friends in this workshop taught by naturalist and wildlife illustrator Jack Hobe! We start with tricks for capturing birds on paper before they fly away, using posture, proportions and angles, then take a look at ways to simplify birds’ feathers, wings, tails and feet. Birds can be challenging and feisty subjects to draw, but Jack’s passion for birding, nature sketching and journaling will help attendees to demystify feather patterns, movements, form and behavior. No art or drawing experience required—all skill levels are welcome! Bring a sketchbook or paper, pencil, and colored pencils / watercolor (if desired). (Taken from Morris Arboretum website)
