CLOSE FOCUS ON A DEER

CLOSE FOCUS ON A DEER 

January 7th and 21st on Zoom 

$25 for the two classes together

I  hope to ease us into the cold new year with a look into the  gentle-looking face of a deer or fawn.  On early morning walks I enjoy  getting a glimpse of a group of deer, especially when one turns to look  at me before darting into the woods.  

Let’s  try to capture that look using your choice of media.  I’ll demonstrate  using watercolor paints and watercolor pencils so you can use either or  both in your own piece. 

Note:  the emphasis in this class will not be on the initial drawing of the  deer.  I will explain how I draw it and tips I find helpful, but I will  concentrate more on fleshing out the deer using value and subtle, soft  color choices.
