drawing birds with john muir laws

Another class I took recently was a onetime session offered through the San Francisco Breeding Bird Observatory: John Muir Laws on how to draw a plover, a tern, and a white-capped sparrow. The session was free but they ask for a donation, and I think you'll agree if you watch the video that their work is most worthy of support! You can watch it on youtube: https://youtu.be/ivKYLkICEQU

the upside of covid

... is all the Zoom classes one can take. And I have signed on to a crazy amount of classes. One would think I didn't have a job!

The class I'm currently falling behind on is an 8-week session, each week focusing on a different subject, with @blueshineart on iG.

This is a really great class: subjects I'd usually never tackle; media I don't usually use ... and a great group of students whose work is very inspiring.

AND the volume of work ... I did all of these in week 2!

I kinda totally missed week 3 due to work, but I'm looking forward to catching up.

birds!

A few little bird paintings : Carolina wrens, which are plentiful in my yard now, and a mockingbird, all of which have, I think gone south.

A little painting of my little Arya sitting in a box.

There are boxes flung everywhere in my house for the enjoyment of cats.

Three birds painted in SaltyWater Art's zoom class: western gull, pomarine jaeger, and least tern.

I enjoy Ronna's class; we often paint something I wouldn't have chosen on my own!
