A fun online course drawing Wild Canines from around the world.
Learn to draw Wolves, foxes and all sorts of wild dogs. There are 37 species of Caninae found around the world today and we will be looking at drawing a selection of these, as well as concentrating on a few longer studies. The canine species covered will include; Red Fox, Grey Wolf, Black-backed jackal, coyote, fennec fox, Arctic fox, raccoon dog, African wild dog, plus more!
There will be a mix of drawing activities leading towards longer studies. We will look at anatomy, gesture drawing, movement, and fur textures, working from beautiful reference photos provided in an online folder for you to print and viewable on screen. This is a fun class with the chance to explore different drawing media and techniques, working in graphite pencil, coloured pencil, charcoal and ink, with demonstrations and tuition from artist and tutor Bethany Milam. Activities can be adapted to other media too!
Suitable for all abilities including beginners.
The sessions will last approximately two hours. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and I will make some time for individual feedback on your artwork at the end of the session.
Sessions are recorded and made available for participants to watch back for the duration of the course plus one month after. If you cannot attend live you can take part via recorded sessions and receive feedback on your artwork by email.
You will receive access to an online folder containing lesson resources, reference images, materials lists, resources and extra topic information. Feedback can be given during lesson time. You will also have access to a closed Facebook group to interact with other students.
