Available spots
Service Description
This course is designed for teenagers with a keen interest in developing their skills in animal drawing with accuracy and artistry. Focusing on technical and creative aspects of animal illustration, students will explore the history of animal art, studying works of renowned artists through the centuries who have depicted wild and domestic animals. This class will cover fundamental principles of drawing including shape, proportion, and tone, and encourage students to learn to observe and depict animals on paper in a dynamic, realistic way. Students will be supported to study masterworks of animal artists and also be guided through basic animal anatomy to build on their abilities, before working from photo reference images and from life. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in both the anatomy and artistic techniques necessary to create compelling, lifelike animal drawings, and have a broader appreciation of the role of animals in art history. Laura is a trained and qualified nursery school teacher, and it is this year in 2025 she has chosen to focus more on her love for drawing painting and sculpture. We love her ever so sensitive and gentle approach. Her draughtsmanship skills paired with a thorough understanding of pedagogy make her an ideal tutor to guide young people and children.
