How to Draw a European Bee-Eater in Pastel

How to Draw a European Bee-Eater in Pastel

Class Description

These European Bee-eaters are migratory birds and are found as far south as South Africa. I believe that they fly non-stop from Europe - no mean feat indeed!  Their plumage is very colourful and you will be drawing this one in Soft Pastel.

In the lesson you will learn:

1. How to simplify the background for effect
2. How to add the branch and leaves
3. How to draw the body
4. How to draw the eye
