Thirteen Ways of Looking for a Starling: Birdwatching & Drawing

Join us for a fun-filled morning of birdwatching and drawing, as we explore how to spot, identify, and draw birds.

Sharpen your observational skills through birdwatching and drawing. In this course, you'll have the chance to observe a diverse range of bird species in their natural habitats. Knowledgeable birdwatchers will provide insights into bird behavior, migration patterns, and habitats. Through a series of rapid, expressive drawings, we'll explore various techniques for capturing movement and relationships observed in nature through art.

This class will be co-taught with Lori, a volunteer from Eastside Audubon.

Organized by

Drawing Herd is an observational workshop series hosted by Coco Allred. Taking place in downtown Seattle and parks across King County, the project aims to give participants new ways to cultivate attention with particular emphasis on the bioregion and historical context of each site. Each class is co-taught with special guests whose expertise ranges from parkour tricking to choreography to atmospheric science.

All classes are free and supplies are provided!

The 2024 series is funded by the Downtown Seattle Association, the City of Bellevue, and the City of Sammamish.
