Drawing Birds of the World in Colored Pencil

Claire is a wildlife artist living in the UK who has specialized in creating highly detailed, lifelike drawings with colored pencils since 2002. She has built an extensive portfolio of wildlife artwork over the years, with a particular focus on birds. While colored pencil remains her primary medium, Claire occasionally also works with acrylics.

In addition to developing her own wildlife collection, Claire has built a thriving community of students on Patreon. Through this platform, she shares her passion for drawing and has created a growing library of more than 75 classes, with new lessons added each month. Her tutorials have inspired artists around the world, from beginners to advanced learners, helping them improve their skills and build confidence in their work.

As a nature enthusiast, Claire draws her inspiration from the wild and finds peace in the calming presence of the outdoors. When she’s not working in her garden studio, she enjoys long hikes, reading, baking, and spending time with her family and four cats.
