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!
