Welcome to the first lesson!

Birds come from eggs and remain pretty egg shaped throughout their lives, so by finding the 'inner egg', it gives us as artists, the ability to capture a pose and proportions very quickly.

In this lesson, I will show you how to analyse a pose in a few key lines and shapes. I will also introduce you to using water resistant pens for sketching, showing you how they can capture line and tone. We will also add colour to bring our sketches to life. 

By the end of this lesson you will be more confident in sketching birds and hopefully be grabbing your pen and sketch book and heading off to the garden of park to put your skills into practice!
