Alpacas & Pygmy Goats

We've said it before and we'll say it again, WE LOVE LIVE SESSIONS!! Which means that we are super excited to have managed to arrange a lovely evening session with Barnacre Alpacas in the cosy shelter of their nighttime barn housing.

We will be drawing from a beautiful herd of champion-bred alpacas in a wonderful array of colours. They are curious and charming with their huge eyelashes and pompom heads - a total joy to draw!

What better way to remedy the week and welcome in the weekend!

PLUS we will be hopping over the fence to draw their wonderfully charismatic Pygmy Goat neighbours! Most excitingly, we are visiting during kidding time which means that we might get lucky with being able to draw some freshly popped out kids!

Please note - although these sessions are essentially UNGUIDED, our tutor Holly will be suggesting exercises with timed footage - these can be completely ignored or you can join in to give yourself a creative stretch!  If you'd rather not listen to any of the talking you can put Holly on mute as all of the poses have a timer clock and you can see the length of each filmed/still section.

What to bring: as these aren't tutored sessions, you can draw with whatever takes your fancy!  We do strongly suggest bringing LOTS OF PAPER - although there will most certainly be longer sections of footage/stills later on in the session, the warm up sections can be very quick and a LOT of them!  You'll want to be able to move quickly, it's a fun packed, fast paced activity - sadly we just can't make those animals stay still for too long!

PLEASE JOIN ONTO ZOOM TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE START OF THE EVENT TO GIVE TIME TO HAVE EVERYONE SETTLED BEFORE WE START, THANK YOU.
