Hello sketchers,

Edit: The replay is now available to watch- scroll to the bottom to view.

Join me on Thursday for our next draw-along session.

Our subject will be birds-great and small.

This time of year the hedgerows are choc full of the bird song choruses so I thought this would be a great time to have a go at sketching a variety of them great and small.

What will we draw?

A variety of birds.

I’ll be sharing a range of photos of birds from large birds of prey like buzzards and kestrels to small house sparrows and wagtails.

We’ll be following our usual format of fast drawing exercises followed by a slower paced drawing time. I’m sure by the time we finish you’ll have lots of bird drawing inspiration

It will also be an opportunity to take some time out to draw together and chat, sharing materials we’re enjoying using and observe these talkative creatures.

Join us live

Here are the details if you’d like to join in the drawing date:

  • Upgrade to paid on my substack for the month (you’ll also get access to all my paid posts for the month)

  • Tune in on Thursday 15th 4-5.30pm BST on Zoom via the LUMA link below

  • The link is below and you’ll be able to access it once paid-you’ll also find the replay below too

  • Bring along a range of drawing and painting mediums you like to use

The session will last around 90 minutes and there will be opportunity to share your pages at the end if you want to.
