Let’s draw birds!

With a few tricks in your pocket, you can quickly and accurately draw live birds. Learn how to quickly get down the basic lines of ducks geese and other waterbirds in a few pencil strokes and then try your hand at drawing the birds of Lake Merritt. Even though birds do not sit still, if you understand a little about their structure and key shapes to observe and record you can draw what you see. This class is free, open to the public, and appropriate for all ages and ability levels. Bring a sketchbook and pencil.

This class is a part of the Oakland Nature Festival.
