JOIN THE WILDLIFE DRAWING ACADEMY
If you’re not already a member of my signature program that teaches you how to draw wildlife, learn all about the program HERE. Members will get exclusive access to the more advanced workshops on the deer family as part of our November 2026 focus on this widespread and common group of mammals. Inside the Wildlife Drawing Academy, you’ll learn to create gestural field sketches as well as detailed portraits that you’ll be proud to frame and hang in your home or gift to a friend. You’ll also gain knowledge of animal anatomy, skeletal and musculature structures, animal locomotion and depicting behaviors and personalities. This is a monthly membership that also includes a library of tutorials, downloadable resources, and new wildlife themes each month.
