Mississippi Coast Audubon Society is excited to present a unique opportunity
next Sunday March 5!
3/5 SUNDAY The Art of Birds: Bird Drawing Workshop
Leader: Jason Pyron jason.pyron@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:jason.pyron@xxxxxxxxx>
Are you looking for a unique way to connect with nature? Drawing birds has
increased in popularity recently as a way for birders to improve their
knowledge and understanding of bird anatomy and bird identification.
MCAS presents a Bird Drawing workshop with bird artist Kristina Knowski. This
2-hour workshop will feature hands-on instruction for drawing birds.
Participants will learn the basic elements of bird drawing, and how to combine
those elements into quick field sketches or more detailed drawings. We will
focus on creating original artwork by observing mounted specimens, photographs,
and live birds. You’ll explore your creative side with the help of professional
artists, work with high-quality materials, and learn fun facts about native and
migrating songbird species of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
There is a $20 fee for the class (cash at the door) which includes class
materials and refreshments. Class size is limited so please e-mail
mscoastaudubon@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:mscoastaudubon@xxxxxxxxx> to reserve your
spot. There will be two sessions: 12-2 pm and 3-5 pm. Please specify which
session you wish to attend.
