All About Owls and How to Sketch Them
In this video below, you’ll learn about the biology and anatomy of owls with a focus on the Barn Owl, Tyto alba.
Then I’ll lead you in sketching your very own realistic owl using simple graphite pencils. This workshop is a recording of a live event from the 2020 celebration of World Migratory Bird Day.
You’ll also hear from Lisa Sorenson from the conservation organization BirdsCaribbean, who will share some of the activities her organization does to education the public about birds and their work to conserve birds throughout the Caribbean islands.
You may download the high-resolution images for sketching practice at the links below the video.
