Sketching birds and nature from observation on the river at Stapenhill Gardens Burton Upon Trent.
Description
Art therapy, brain training, relief from depression, reconnecting with nature and Mother Earth meditation or just learning how to sketch from life with X-Warner Bros animation artist. Accepting donations to cover costs. Meet at Stappenhill Gardens and occasionally Branston Water Park Burton every Wednesday evening to sketch swans or whatever you want to.
Sketching animals from life is perhaps the hardest of all art disciplines but one of the best ways to reconnect with nature. Fiona has been sketching wildlife outdoors for some years and can pass on some helpful tips and advice to get you started so you can sketch from life anywhere.
