5 week Course Overview
Unleash your creativity over 5 weeks and build your drawing skills in a fun and relaxed environment with artist and educator Shannon Dwyer!

Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or looking to refine your technique, you’ll learn to capture the beauty and character of birds and animals using simple yet effective drawing methods.
Through step-by-step guidance, hands-on exercises and plenty of encouragement, you'll develop techniques for sketching proportions, adding texture and creating depth and movement.
