Learn how capture the birds around you using a sketchbook and pencil!

Naturalist-artist Jack Hobe will teach you the basics of using quick and easy-to-learn drawing techniques to document your feathered friends in the fashion of the early ornithologists. The class will start with a short lecture covering foundational skills such as: capturing the bird’s form with gesture sketching, drawing moving birds, and using written notes to augment your sketches. No art experience needed – all skill levels welcome!
