SUMMARY:Special Event: Cheetahs–Conservation and Art
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, December 4th is International Cheetah Day and a time to celebrate these magnificent animals and their uniqueness. As the fastest land mammal\, with the ability to go from 0 to 60mph in 3 seconds\, cheetahs are the most unique of the big cats. Their speed\, beauty\, and grace have won hearts worldwide\, and today\, we ask you to spread awareness of their plight in the wild. Less than 7500 individuals remain\, in only 31 populations around the world. Cheetahs suffer from human-wildlife conflict\, genetic instability\, habitat and prey loss\, climate change\, and the illegal wildlife trade. Help us raise funds to save this magnificent animal in the wild\, and become an ally for cheetahs. \nI will be joined by Jess Sorrentino of the Cheetah Conservation Fund and Marcia Sivek of the Cheetah Conservation Fund and the BeProvided Conservation Radio Podcast. We will discuss current efforts in Cheetah conservation and what we can do to help the species.  \nThen we will explore aspects of the cheetah’s anatomy\, structure\, and patterns to draw these amazing animals in a close-up portrait and a running action pose. \nIf you can not join us live\, I will make a recording of the workshop and post it on my blog. All ages and experience levels are welcome. I look forward to seeing you there. The class is free but you need to register to attend. Please consider donating to support Cheetah conservation when you register. All donations go to support the Cheetah Conservation Fund. \n\n\n\nClick here to Join the Class\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBring these Supplies to the workshop\n\n\n\n\nYour Journal and favorite drawing materials. Taking notes while you watch and participate will help you remember the new techniques and incorporate them into your journaling.\n\n\n\nYour sense of humor.\n\n\n\nA growth mindset. You can learn to draw. It takes practice and you can do this.\n\n\n\nA download of the Cheetah Anatomy Worksheet

SUMMARY:Be Well in Nature (wellness workshops with Stanford University)
DESCRIPTION:John Muir Laws is speaking as a part of a day-long panel on nature and wellness. When we connect with nature\, we can foster peace and tranquility within ourselves\, resulting in positive well-being. In fact\, research has shown that spending time in nature reduces stress\, anxiety\, and depression.  Sessions include the science of wellness in nature\, journaling\, boosting resilience\, recognizing our authentic selves\, and connecting through movement. You may attend the whole day or drop in throughout the day for the sessions that interest you. Attend two or more sessions to be entered into a giveaway for a $50 Amazon gift card. \nRegister for the event and see the full list of sessions. \nDescription of my program: Keeping an illustrated\, observational journal is a centuries-old method that has been reenvisioned and refined through our understanding of neuroscience\, learning\, and deliberate practice. A nature journal focuses our attention and crystalizes our observations\, thoughts\, and experiences. This class will help you collect and organize your observations\, questions\, connections\, and explanations in a notebook using words\, pictures\, and numbers. You do not need to be an artist or a naturalist. These skills can be learned by anyone and developed through practice. Journaling is creative\, rigorous\, and playful. It is easy to begin and learn\, and your work will grow and mature over a lifetime. Start now: you can do this\, and the world is waiting. 11-11:50 am Pacific

SUMMARY:How to draw bird legs and feet
DESCRIPTION:Many people are afraid of drawing birds’ feet and so hide the feet behind leaves. With a little knowledge\, you can draw accurate and functional bird legs and feet. The bird leg has key similarities and differences from ours. Learn the structure of birds’ legs and feet and how to draw them. Learn how to draw “quick feet”.

SUMMARY:Botanical Illustration 4: Foreshortening Cone Shaped Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Join John Muir Laws as he investigates how to draw and foreshorten cone-shaped flowers. Most flowers do not hold the petals in a flat plane. You will find the petals slightly to significantly inclined in a cone. This changes the way the flower is foreshortened. Learn the principles behind drawing flowers with these angles. Print out the flower/leaf model worksheet before the class. \nClick Here to Join the Zoom Workshop! \nPasscode: 187351 \nAll ages and experience levels are welcome.
