Jocelyn's recorded footage of wild birds feeding from her hand is just spectacular. It's slowed down and super clear - a dream! It's an unusual and fascinating vantage point and great fun to draw from.

We'll be drawing Blue Jays, Nuthatch & Cardinals from moving footage and Great Horned Owls, Heron & Cederwings from stunning photography so there will be a great mix of speedy drawing and longer 'poses'. Perfect!

ALL levels of creatives are welcome to these sessions, any age or ability! You can expect is to find an encouraging group of animal-loving artists at the Elephant in the Room sessions, the atomosphere is always warm and inviting. The challenge of drawing animals can seem daunting at first but you are great company here, and although the sessions are essentially unguided, I am always delighted to talk through techniques and materials as we draw. 

DO BRING PLENTY OF PAPER - you will get through a lot! The rest is up to you, but I recommend choosing materials that move quickly across the page for those moving animal studies. 

PLEASE ARRIVE IN PLENTY OF TIME - the sessions are always jam-packed with footage so I try to start promptly at 7pm so it's a good idea to jump on the zoom ten mins beforehand to get settled. I can of course let you in if you arrive late (I'm no meany!) : )

I can't wait to draw with you!
