Cockatoo Workshop with Terry Napier

Course Details

In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to closely observe and illustrate the vibrant and charismatic Sulphur Crested Cockatoo and Gang-Gang, two of Australia’s most recognizable and beloved birds. Through a combination of observing photographs and detailed study of taxidermy specimens of the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo and Gang-Gang, students will be able to get up close to see the detail of the eyes, pattern of the feathers, shape of the beak and feet.

Students will also receive a line drawing to trace, and then move straight on to painting if they prefer.

Whether you're an experienced artist looking to refine your skills or a beginner eager to explore the world of nature illustration, this is a great and rare opportunity to get up close to two of Australia’s great birds, blending art with scientific observation to foster a true appreciation for Australia’s native birdlife!
