Oh how I love to draw a chicken, and this session is simply brimming full of them! And these are not just any plain ol poultry, these are brilliantly beautiful and just a little bit fancy Bantam hens. Small but most definitely perfectly formed and with huge personalities to boot, bantams really are wonderful birds and a proper joy to draw. 

I filmed these happy hens scratching about their orchard in Scotland, doing their thing, there's some rather fancy cockerals in there too.

This is an essentially unguided drawing session but I am always happy to offer advise and chat throughout. There are on screen timers and prompts to help keep you straight and the whole atmosphere is creative, warm & welcoming.

All levels of creatives are welcome to these sessions and there is never any pressure to share your work if you don't want to. What you can expect is to find an encouraging group of animal-loving artists who love the challenge of drawing all creatures great and small, feathered or fishy, we love them all! 

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!
