Wildlife and Botanical Illustration Class

In this workshop, you will learn how to draw wildlife and nature using observational and visual interpretation skills in an enjoyable and effective way.

Learn essential drawing skills that will help you create accurate and stunning illustrations of subjects of the natural world. You will study native animals and plants from photo references, models, and real-life examples.

No matter your level of skill or experience, your expert tutor Dr Tamara Jordan will guide you through the process of creating wildlife and nature drawings from scratch. Each class includes practical and theoretical instruction, along with plenty of time to put your new knowledge into practice.

We will use a range of different materials starting with simple pencil sketches to more advanced illustrations using coloured pencil, charcoal, pastels and ink.

Australia’s natural world is a fascinating place, being able to capture it through the process of drawing provides insights into life that can expand our knowledge and change how we think about ourselves and our environment.

By the way, your tutor Tamara worked also a trained volunteer wildlife carer and can provide you with some astonishing facts about Australian wildlife!

You only need to bring basic materials to your class such as: drawing sketch pad, set of graphite pencils, eraser.
