How to draw birds.

Fall is a special time to observe and draw our feathered friends.  John Muir Laws' book , How to Draw Birds is an excellent book to show you how to capture them in pen and ink.

Splatters, email me and I will send you a free link where you can download a free sample of his book.

See how many of those migrating beauties you can capture on paper .(and on photos )
