Wild Life Drawing Online: Colourful Lizards

Radiant reptiles will be the scaly stars of our next online drawing class. We'll be sketching via live video link with a charming Green Iguana named Deano, a Chinese Water Dragon named Gremlin and a vivid red Uromastyx Lizard – all rescued or rehomed by Snakes Alive, a reptile centre and sanctuary near South End. 

The class will begin with an introduction from WLD founder and artist Jennie Webber, who will take you through the basics of drawing animals from life, with a focus on reptile anatomy. There will be a drawing demonstration of the shapes and proportions to identify and some handy hints for capturing the texture of the scales and those incredible colours. We will then switch screens to be introduced to the lizards and we'll be chatting with the Snakes Alive team who will be able to tell us all about these particular lizards, how they've evolved such bright colours and how some lizards are able to change the colour of their skin! We'll spend around 25 minutes drawing each lizard, and there will be plenty of creative guidance and demonstrations along the way to help you with your drawings.

The basic materials you need to take part are paper, a pencil, eraser and sharpener, but of course you are more than welcome to work in whatever materials you enjoy or have to hand. Please get in touch if you need advice on materials, we're happy to help! You will be emailed the Zoom link to join and 48 hours before the event is due to start, or in good time if you booked last minute. 

If you haven't received the link, do check your junk mail first and then get in touch by emailing info@wildlifedrawing.co.uk and we'll make sure you have it before the event is due to take place. You just need one ticket per device, not per person. Suitable for all ages and abilities!
