This workshop introduces you to painting birds using a combination of ink and watercolour, a favourite of illustrators, plein air sketchers and journal keepers. These two wet mediums complement one another, resulting in beautiful, loose, layered and whimsical results. You will practice a variety of techniques with reference materials for three very different Canadian birds: the Saw Whet Owl, the Red-headed Finch and the iconic Common Loon. Nature sketch artist Val Lawton will guide you throughout the sketching process, starting with the subject’s basic shapes, identifying the creature’s form, then moving on to rendering the birds’ fluffy, feathery or sleek textures. After this workshop, you will never again be intimidated about drawing birds. Suitable for all levels. All supplies included SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1:30 - 4:30PM(PCT) IN-PERSON
