Wild Life Drawing: Meerkats

Back by popular demand, this January we will be drawing everyone’s favourite mob of meerkats! Behind the adorable faces and fluff, these desert dwelling mammals are seriously tough. They're expert scorpion hunters, can survive without drinking water and are even immune to the venom of certain snakes! Within a few hours of being bitten, these amazing animals are able to recover from snake bites that would kill an adult human. Coming along to strut their stuff for us will be meerkats Stuart and Mika, and the rest of their mob.

The class will be lead by artist and wildlife enthusiast Laura Cuppage, who will get you started with a drawing demo and her top tips for drawing a moving subject. Throughout the session Laura will be on hand with as much creative guidance as you would like, while animal expert Amy will teach us all about these small but mighty animals. We will provide paper and drawing boards and an array of colourful materials, but do bring along any of your own kit if you’d like. The class is open to all abilities- from beginners to advanced. Even if you haven’t picked up a pencil in years, we will have you sketching away in no time! 

Here at Wild Life Drawing we are a small team who are dedicated to animal welfare. We only ever work with the finest animal handlers, who treat their animals with care and respect, and healthy animals who are happy being around humans.  

10% of profits will be donated to South Essex Wildlife Hospital.
