Wild Life Drawing
Join us for an inspiring drawing workshop with beautiful birds of prey; Harris Hawks, Lanner Falcons and Eagle Owls. As we sketch the birds from life on their perches, we will be able to observe their natural behaviours including preening, calling and, more often than not, falling asleep! Our "models" will be accompanied by our expert falconer, who will be sharing amazing facts about their hunting habits, conservation and their unique personalities. Prepare to be mesmerised, and to leave with not only some lovely drawings, but also a greater understanding and appreciation of the animals you’ve drawn.
The workshop will be hosted by wildlife illustrator Jennie Webber, who will get you started with drawing demos and her top tips for drawing a moving subject. Throughout the session Jennie will be on hand with as much creative guidance as you would like. We will provide paper and drawing boards, as well as an array of materials for you to enjoy, but do bring along any of your own favourites if you’d like.
The class is open to all abilities - from beginners to advanced, and we really mean that! Even if you haven’t picked up a pencil in years, we will provide the support and encouragement to have you sketching away in no time.
Wild Life Drawing are a small team who are dedicated to animal welfare. They only ever work with the finest animal handlers, who treat their animals with care and respect, and healthy animals who are happy being around humans. The falconer who keeps these birds are Sky Birds of Prey, a trusted and experienced specialist team that work to rehome unloved birds, and to rescue, rehabilitate and re-release wild birds of prey around the South of England.
