Wild Life Drawing: Meerkats

We’re gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse: the mob are back in town. At this class we will be joined by our favourite family of meerkats- Rogan, Stuart, Mika and the rest of their gorgeous gang. 

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! This means that within a few hours, these amazing animals are able to recover from snake bites that would kill an adult human.

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. We will provide paper and drawing boards, as well as an array of colourful materials for you to enjoy, but do bring along any of your own favourites if you’d like. The class is open to all- from beginners to advanced. Even if you haven’t picked up a pencil in years, we will have you sketching away in no time! Our goal is for you to leave with not only some lovely drawings, but also a greater understanding and appreciation of the animals you’ve drawn. 

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.
