Bird Painting Art Workshop
Victoria Park Arts Centre12 Kent StreetVictoria Park,In this bird painting introduction workshop, I will share my study of birds, that will cover the bird drawing theory, bird anatomy, analyzing feather group, and beak and feet drawings. When the theory is understood, the drawing will be a lot easier. We also learn how to shade and colour a feather and a bird.
I have painted many birds in different colours to show. Through these samples I will talk about how I have painted them and teach how to observe birds. In the end, everyone can finish an artwork, a feather or a bird. We will be in an easy and relaxing atmosphere to study. I believe everyone will enjoy.
Tickets $25
