Looking for unique things to do in Melbourne? Join this wildlife and botanical illustration class, perfect for all skill levels.
In this workshop, you will learn how to draw wildlife and nature using observational and visual interpretation skills in an enjoyable and effective way.
Learn essential drawing skills that will help you create accurate and stunning illustrations of subjects of the natural world. You will study native animals and plants from photo references, models, and real-life examples.
No matter your level of skill or experience, you'll be guided through the process of creating wildlife and nature drawings from scratch. Each class includes practical and theoretical instruction, along with plenty of time to put your new knowledge into practice.
You will learn:
  • The fundamentals of drawing like proportions, value, light, shadow, form and shape.
  • Different drawing techniques such as stippling and cross hatching.
  • Expert methods to create realistic drawings.
  • How to ‘connect your eyes’ to your drawing hand and be precise when analysing what you observe.
  • How to use the power of composition and the illusion of depth in your drawings.
  • Amazing and significant facts about Australia's precious wildlife and nature.
  • How to effectively communicate your ideas to create an original artwork.
We will use a range of different materials starting with simple pencil sketches to more advanced illustrations using coloured pencil, charcoal, pastels and ink.
Australia’s natural world is a fascinating place, being able to capture it through the process of drawing provides insights into life that can expand our knowledge and change how we think about ourselves and our environment.
By the way, your experienced tutor Mara is also a trained volunteer wildlife carer and can provide you with some astonishing facts about Australian wildlife!
