Drawing Birds I: Colored Pencil Drawing Course

DRAWING BIRDS I - Colored Pencil Drawing Course

(Although this course may be for all drawing levels, some experience with colored pencils is an advantage)

In this colored pencil drawing course, we will explore the distinctive shapes, sizes, proportions and colors of many different bird groups including songbirds, waterfowl, birds of prey, birds of paradise, extinct species, and even imaginary or mythological birds. We'll also cover feather structure, textures, and choices of paper colors to draw on for the most dramatic effects.

Materials to start: white drawing paper (Canson XL Mixed Media or similar), graphite sketching pencil (mechanical), white eraser, set of colored pencils (wax-based or watercolor), and a manual pencil sharpener.

Please register for the first class on July 12, and you will be signed up for all six.
