Join our presenter, Zoologist and science communicator Sophie Pavelle, and nature-artists Hana Ayoob, Alicia Hayden, and Lauren Cook to learn how to draw incredible plants, fungi and animals, following their simple step-by-step tutorials.
And the twist? The ecologists that study these creatures will be joining live and drawing them too!
In this fun and informative art-nature mash-up you’ll hear all about the science behind the drawings as you get creative, and find out how ecologists help understand and protect the environment as a job! You will also be able to put your own questions to the ecologists as you draw along.
This draw-along is suitable for individuals of all artistic ability, and you only need pencil and paper if you’d like to draw along!
