To me, vultures fall under the 'ugly-beautiful' camp and I think they are utterly brilliant creatures! Not only are they a critically important species for the environment, they also happen to be completely fascinating AND BRILLIANT to draw!

They come in all shapes and sizes and we're going to indulge in drawing from a range of beautiful photography in the session to celebrate this. Poses will range from quick warm-ups of 2+mins to longer poses of up to 15-20mins. It's going to be a gorgeous session that I hope will leave everyone feeling the love for one of the lesser-appreciated bird species. 

I really hope you can join me!

Everyone is welcome as always : )

***NEW PRICING***

The Economy has gone bananas (I'm pretty sure you've noticed!). It's that much harder to pay the bills, let alone find extra pennies to enjoy activities and I don't want affordability to get in the way of anyone wanting to come to Animal Life Drawing. I really want everyone to be able to draw here which is why I've made tickets "pay what you can" for the forseeable.

The usual ticket price is £12 and if you can pay this, great, that really helps me to keep the classes running. But if all you can afford is £2, then that's great too - I would genuinely rather have your company than not. I mean it. I love drawing with you, it makes me happy, and I know that drawing animals will make things feel that bit brighter for you too.

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! These sessions are unguided, but I'm always happy to chat through process and offer advice.

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!
