We started this study group on April 15 , with a live guest appearance from John Muir Laws during the noon group session. If you missed this, you are still welcome to join us!  Participants in the group will work on their own at their own pace, and share their progress during our weekly watercolor journaling gatherings. When you register we will send you zoom link and copy of youtube of his visit to our initial group session on April 15, 2024.

 

John Muir Laws is an award-winning naturalist, educator, and artist. His guide to Drawing Birds is considered an important and valuable reference for those interested in learning the fundamentals of bird drawing techniques that will enhance your skills and increase observation and perception.  The lessons in the text teach basic principles with a primary goal  of encouraging one to move through the world with curiosity, joy and a deeper relationship with birds and nature.   Participants will need the required text, journal, a Net Loft Laws Bird tool kit  or supplies from list gathered from your collection, watercolor paints, brushes, a colored pencil set and a pair of binoculars.
Those who have many of the supplies on hand from previous courses may review kits below as a checklist of suggested items.
