DRAWING DYNAMIC ANIMALS

with Maggie Parr

How to sketch and draw animals that look realistic, dynamic and filled with life that you'd happily share with others -- without being a professional artist

Let me show you how to draw any animal you please - whether it's a portrait of your cat or a collection of characters for a children's book

Here's what students are saying after working with me...

"Maggie is a generous teacher, sharing her talent, tips and offering patient guidance. She not only brought me back to the basics I had forgotten, but she also taught me new methods and techniques I never knew existed! Working with Maggie has helped me to improve measuredly, and the results have elevated my confidence. Maggie has helped me believe I can be the artist I've always aspired to be."

"Maggie is a museum-quality artist and also patient, generous, and helpful to artists of all levels. She guided us methodically through each step of creating a good portrait. You will learn how to use darks and lights to shape the features and produce a good likeness."

Peggy S

"I loved the entire process from beginning to end. You really don't need much experience to try, just trust the process. Maggie is very knowledgeable and makes class very enjoyable."

About Maggie

"I love nothing more than to see the light go on in someone's eyes after they learn how miraculous it is to SEE like an artist! And it's easier than everyone thinks. I believe that being a good artist is about 20% talent, and the rest is technique and practice." --Maggie
