Online using Zoom.

(For more information about how to use Zoom, click here.)

Join me to paint Crows & Ravens!

Our lesson will start with silhouette exercises to understand bird proportions and postures. Then we will paint a standing raven on a white background. And lastly we will paint a flying crow with a winter background.

After I receive your registration, I will email you the reference photos for these projects so that you can complete your drawings before class. In class, we will focus on painting.

The invitation link to join the class on Zoom will be sent to you around 9:45am on the day of our class, 15 minutes before class starts. Have your supplies set up and we will jump right in.

All skill levels welcome.
