This workshop is designed for anyone who likes birds and w ants to learn some techniques for how to sketch them—whether you’re a begi nner birder looking to improve your identification skills through sketchin g\, or a bird expert wanting to explore a new facet to your passion. Learn the basics of blocking in shapes\, sketching bird anatomy\, watercolor te chniques\, and adding in a few details to your sketch.

Sketching should be fun and easy for anyone to try\, so don’t worry about your painting being perfect—and practice as many times as you like with all your favorite bir ds!\n\nLimit: 15 participants\nCost: $40 member\, $50 non-member\n\nSuppli es:\nYou can use any watercolor paints\, paper\, and brushes you already h ave laying around. If you’d like to purchase any\, see my recommendations below\, but feel free to select any in your budget. Here are a few things you’ll need:\n• Set of watercolor paints. I’ll be using the following color s for our tanager: lemon yellow\, cadmium yellow\, cadmium red\, sap green \, ultramarine\, and burnt umber (give or take a few other optional shades ). It’s not necessary to purchase all the same colors if you don’t want to . In my opinion\, ultramarine and burnt umber are the most important ones to have in general for watercolorists so those are a good idea to get if y ou’re thinking of continuing with watercolor.\n• Watercolor paper. Having a paper with at least some cotton content (as opposed to cellulose) makes a difference when applying certain watercolor techniques. If you can afford more expensive paper\, I’d suggest trying out a 25% or 100% cotton paper (see what I’ll be using below)\, but it's not imperative. \n• Sizes ~3\, ~6 \, and ~10 round paint brushes with a good point (sizes flexible—just good to have small\, medium\, and large brushes).\n• Sketching pencil\n• Eraser \nn Jar for water\n• Paper towels or a soft rag suitable for blotting your b rush on\n• Hair dryer (optional but quite helpful)\n• Kneaded eraser (option al)\nFor those looking for good budget options to purchase:\n•Sakura Koi F ield set\, 30 colors (has most of the colors I’ll be using plus many more) \nnCanson Montval watercolor paper\, 140 lb cold press (100% cellulose)\n• Craft store synthetic round brushes with a good point\nI’ll be using:\n•Fa briano studio watercolor fat pad 25% cotton paper (a great watercolor sket chbook paper)\, and/or Arches 140 or 300 lb hot press 100% cotton paper (g reat for finished pieces)\n•Daniel Smith and Winsor & Newton watercolors ( tubes)\n•Da Vinci Costmotop and/or Grumbacher Goldenedge round brushes in sizes 3\, 6\, and 10\n\nAbout Laurel Mundy:\nART IS FOR THE BIRDS\nSOMETIM ES I\, LIKE MANY OF MY GENERATION\, FEEL OVERWHELMED AND SCARED ABOUT THE PRESENT STATE OF OUR PLANET. \nI often feel helpless—like no matter what s mall thing I do in my daily life to do “better\,” I can’t control the big picture.
