The Giant Cuttlefish are breeding in massive numbers off the coast of Whyalla in South Australia. It's a spectacle and my plans to study them while volunteering with Experiencing Marine Sanctuaries - EMS in 2021 was shut down by Covid.
Track forward: I'll be heading to Whyalla this year to spend two weeks immersed in all things CUTTLE-ISH, volunteering at CuttleFest for the first week and invited to teach my unique education for the second week.
You'll be familiar with my slight obsession with the cephalopod and I have drawn a fair few octopus and cuttlefish already. In fact, I have already drawn Whyalla's cuttles via photos from diving friends, and also from my own experiences and photos of mainly Sydney Cuttlefish varieties.
I'm curious about how the experience of being in the water with hundreds and thousands of frisky, mating giant cuttlefish will influence my feelings and influence my illustrations of them.
- Adults: $69.00
- Kids under 16: $39.00
Discover the uniqueness of Whyalla’s Giant Cuttlefish and learn how to draw these magnificent animals with Sue.
You’ll get up close with the cuttlefish through videos and images taken by Sue and be introduced to observational illustration techniques. These techniques will then help you work on whatever inspires you, and you'll be on your way to developing your own illustration style and art!
This is a fun way to learn! No experience is required! Bring your powers of observation, curiosity about marine animals, and enthusiasm!
