I used to draw a lot at the zoo, my days off were during the week. I was surprised at how many of the animals, birds, even reptiles, tended to hold mostly still for long enough to get a good sketch - or move but come back to a very similar position. People watching would comment on it too. "Look, the eagle's posing for her."
My copy of The Artist's Guide to Sketching arrived a couple of days ago. I'm home from work recovering from a nasty virus, and the book arrived just in time to cheer me up and keep me company. It's absolutely wonderful. Thank you!
Pre-ordered my copy in Amazon... Can't wait for it to come! Wish I could see that exhibit in real life - maybe some day I’ll make it south of the border 😉
I hope you’re enjoying the winter - might be time for me to re-watch the video you did of painting the birds by the snowy bush, that’s one of my favs.
