Wild Life Drawing: Halloween Wolves

Start practicing your best howls 'n' growls because this October we have a haunting Halloween special in store for you with our wonderful wolf pack. All over the world, wolves are surrounded by fascinating folk stories. In Japanese mythology they are guardians of the forest, able to hide behind a single blade of grass. In Sweden, they are said to be under the protection and control of Vargamors (forest witches), who in return would seduce men to feed to them! Our much adored models are a family of British Lupine wolf dog hybrids, who look just like wild wolves, howl at the moon and live in a pack, but are just as tame and friendly as your own pet pooches! 

The class will be lead by artist and illustrator Jennie Webber who will begin with an introduction into drawing from life, and some top tips which will be sure to get your drawings looking wolfy and wonderful. As the session progresses we will hear from canine behavioural expert and “head wolf” Natalie Langstrom, who will teach us all about wolf-dogs and wild wolf conservation. 

The class is open to all abilities. Whether you’re a dab hand or an absolute beginner, with our top tips on drawing moving models we will have you sketching away in no time. We will provide everything you need to draw- drawing boards, paper and a colourful array of materials- but do feel free to bring along any of your favourite drawing materials if you’d like to. 

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 that are happy being around humans. 

10% of profits will be donated to Wolf Watch UK. This fantastic organisation provides a safe haven for displaced wolves at their 100 acre woodland sanctuary in Shropshire.
