Learn to draw owls one of nature’s most enigmatic nocturnal predators; the owl and create a characterful watercolour painting.

Over this 5-week course there will be a mix of drawing activities and longer painted studies. We will look at anatomy, gesture drawing, movement, feather textures and colour, working from beautiful reference photos and occasional videos provided in an online folder and viewable on screen.

This will be a fun class with the chance to explore different media and techniques, working mainly in pencil, ink, and watercolour, with demonstrations and tuition from artist and tutor Bethany Milam. Activities can be adapted to more limited media if needed. Suitable for all abilities, including beginners.

There are five resident owl species found in the UK, while worldwide there are about 250 species of owls. We will be looking at drawing a small selection of owl species during class, but you will be encouraged to learn more about your favourites through making study pages in your sketchbooks.

Sessions are recorded and made available for participants to watch back for the duration of the course plus one month after. You will receive access to lesson resources, reference images, materials lists, resources and extra topic information. You will also have access to a closed Facebook group to interact with other students.
