Join Jack Hobe, naturalist and wildlife illustrator, for a session on drawing songbirds. Learn to sketch the lively songbirds in your backyard, using tricks for capturing posture, proportions, and feather patterns before they flit away. We’ll also take a look at ways to simplify birds’ feathers, wings, tails, and feet. All skill levels welcome! Bring a sketchbook or paper, pencil, and colored pencils or watercolor (if desired).
