Animals are back! Join Linda for a journey exploring different ways to draw animals and their environment. We will try a variety of different mediums, from portrait style images of wildlife to wildlife in the landscape. Using supplied and your own reference photos you will try different techniques using graphite and colour pencils, water-soluble pencils, organic tea stains, fineliner ink pens and marker pens.

Our subjects will include:

1. Using water-soluble Graphitint and graphite to create an animal portrait

2. An Australian Animal in limited colour palette (3 colours and graphite)

3. Organic tea stains, how to use and create tones for backgrounds and landscapes

4. Fineliner pen drawing

You will create realistic and interpretative drawings from your own sketches based on photographic images. Using different techniques including blending, layering, washing and line you will explore ways to create textures, surfaces and fur resulting in unique animal artworks.

This class features step-by-step guidance, one-on-one instruction and comprehensive notes for you to take with you.

Some drawing experience is handy but not required and all levels are most welcome.
