Birdcassos
DISTRIBUTED: 4-HOUR
Join our “sketch-a-thon”! Inspired by the teachings of legendary artist John Muir Laws, and the timid voice we hear whispering, “draw, paint… you can do it.” We will spend our 4-hour time frame drawing the birds around us. As a “distributed team” we will not meet in one location as previously planned, but draw our avian subjects wherever we happen to be—your back yard, your neighborhood, a nearby park, or wherever… So sharpen your pencils and dampen your paintbrushes and get to work. Don’t worry about your technique or whatever the world believes to be talent, just look for birds you want to record and set your pencils and brushes to paper. The goal will be to draw or paint as many birds as possible in the 4-hour window… no experience is necessary and any style portrait will be celebrated. The only caveat is that our portraits must be of subjects we see during the 4-hour window, rendered within that time, and be properly identified. Send Matthew a snapshot of each portrait you create and afterward, all the portraits will be collected and assembled in a pdf booklet for your enjoyment.
