Field Arts Workshop: Around the World in 80 Animals No. 3 (South America)
Note: you may turn on closed captions by clicking the “CC” button in the video controls. You can also view full screen by clicking the Expand arrows.
Based on my series Around the World in 80 Trees (in which we spent a year traveling around the globe by region and sketching interesting, weird, iconic, or beautiful trees and tree-like plants), this is a new series based on animals—we’ll travel the world and learn as much natural history as we can, plus master the art of quickly sketching birds, mammals, monotremes, and more!
No. 3: South America
What you’ll need: a multi-media sketchbook or an accordion style booklet (see below), pen and / or pencil for our base drawings, and then watercolor or colored pencil to quickly bring them to life.
TIP: For plants I used a strip of heavy watercolor paper folded into four squares to create an “accordion” booklet to record my trees (8 total, 4 on each side). For animals I recommend a full sketchbook, or larger squares, at least 5” if you choose an accordion.
Prepwork: Create a map of the region so you can place the regions the species were located.
Length: 2 hours, 17 minutes
Downloads and Resources
Colors and brush I use:
I favor a simple primary “triad” plus two extra colors: Manganese Blue (“cyan”), Quinacridone Rose (“magenta”), Aureolin Yellow (“yellow”), and Burnt Sienna and Indanthrone Blue, all Daniel Smith.
I use an Isabey Squirrel Mop Travel Brush.
Any amount is appreciated!

Treeline: The Last Forest and the Future of Life on Earth by Ben Rawlance
NYTimes article about Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a medical biochemist, botanist, organic chemist, poet, author, and developer of artificial blood. But her main focus for decades now has been to telegraph to the world, in prose that is scientifically exacting yet startlingly affecting, the wondrous capabilities of trees. She is featured in the Balsam Poplar chapter in Rawlance’s book.
