Drawing and Sketching Birds

This program will explore methods for drawing birds in both studio and field. Mr. Van Dusen will discuss the value of keeping a field sketchbook, and discuss the techniques, challenges and opportunities involved with drawing wild birds outdoors. A selection of pages from his field sketchbooks will provide a window onto this challenging but rewarding endeavor.

The class will include a real-time, follow-along drawing demonstration, in which Mr. Van Dusen will discuss bird anatomy and structure, tips for drawing various parts of the bird, and ending with a start-to-finish drawing of a Carolina Wren, offering a detailed sequence of steps for creating a complete bird drawing. This program is aimed at beginner artists and art appreciators.
