This LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for beginners and improvers alike. You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching this online demonstration – it is a time to watch, ask and learn - however, you are welcome to work along with Heather, if you wish.
Workshop details
Enjoy the magic of drawing and painting sweet songbirds in a foliate setting. Throughout the class we will go through the process of drawing Cerulean Warblers and placing them in a rustic branch setting.
Once you see the underlying structure of the bird, an exciting new world of possibilities will appear. We will observe the patterns and details of the birds while stylizing the features to create sweet expressions. A delicate watercolour technique will be demonstrated in the class that will begin to bring these birds to life. There is so much joy in these little designs and you will be able to explore ideas presented here for years to come with any birds you choose.

Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Heather will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students during the series, and for thirty days after the follow up session. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
*The follow up session is not recorded to ensure that you have an opportunity to share your work with the rest of the class, and receive personal feedback, without feeling self-conscious about being recorded. We would encourage you all to join us live if you can – even if you were signed up as a ‘recording only’ participant for the workshop.
