Animal Illustration *In-Person*

In this class we will learn to render all different types of fauna by exploring the various details, textures, and patterns of the animal kingdom. Reference material will be used in the classroom including anatomical drawings, nature photography, field guides and the instructor's own artwork. We will explore different colors and textures of scales, feathers, antlers, horns and fur and will focus on both realistic and expressive rendering of animals using examples from fine art to tribal renderings. All levels are welcome. Instructor: Michelle Stevens
