How to Draw Birds with John Muir Laws: Garden Birds

We are proud to announce that we have partnered with naturalist, artist and educator John Muir Laws to offer you a three class series covering the fundamentals of drawing birds
How to Draw Garden Birds: Learn how to capture the form and feeling of sparrows, warblers and other common songbirds with fast and efficient lines. Learn key anatomical details to help you draw them accurately in the field or in the studio.
We want to see your art! Share your work on Instagram and Facebook using #drawbirds2020

Here is a list of equipment from John Muir Laws, including the Non Photo Blue pencil, waterbrush, and palette he used in the class: johnmuirlaws.com/field-sketch...
You can purchase those items as well as his book, The Laws Guide to Drawing Birds, in his store. When you purchase books through his store, it helps support John and his work. johnmuirlaws.com/store/

    WONDERFUL wings talk. I’ll never see bird’s wings the same way again… this will be invaluable when I’m trying to figure out the bird’s wings and sketching them

    I'm doing this course again, two years later and I'm still learning a lot. Thank you for this well structured, generous and complete course ! It really makes you want to start drawing birds again.

    Would this pencil, the blue, work for canvas/oil painting under-sketching, like would it be smudged, or would it leak through the oil paint? Thanks.

    Curious why he started with one bird, then moves on to completely different bird types, but never goes back to complete the first bird? I'm not lost on how to complete the drawing I started. I do really like this class other than that, though.
