Drawing Birds

  • Nevada Fine Arts 1301 South Virginia Street Reno, NV, 89502 United States (map)

In this class we will learn specific techniques for drawing birds. We will cover how to properly proportion a bird’s body, basic bird anatomy, tips and tricks for drawing birds in nature, and some bonus color theory material! Hint: The color wheel you’ve grown up with is a LIE! If you would like to know the secret mysteries of the true color wheel and have fun drawing some beautiful feathered friends, come join me for this awesome class!

This is a class for ALL ability and skill levels. Beginners are welcome!
