Hi everyone

Unfortunately, due to the venue being cancelled at short notice, we will be unable to put on our exhibition as planned this coming weekend.  It’s a little disappointing but watch this space for details of our Christmas Exhibition later in the year.

Sorry for any inconvenience

Sadly, we have now come to the end of the Beginners Drawing Course 2 and todays lesson was a chance to put into practise all the things you have learned so far.  It was a team effort today to each recreate a small section of an image and then piece our finished drawings together to form the whole picture.  This was a real test in accuracy for both proportion and tone.  You all worked really hard and the final assembled picture looked fantastic.  I hope you will all continue to practise the techniques you have learned over the past 8 weeks and I’ll look forward to seeing many of you in the September courses.

Bye for now.

We tried something a little bit different this week by using pen and old paperback books as a background.  It was good practise for your cross hatching techniques and the text provided an interesting surface to work on.  It was great to see you build up these little sketchbooks with your lovely drawings and I hope it will inspire you to think about what other surfaces you could be working on too.  Next week is the last lesson of the course but don’t worry because the new dates for the September courses have finally been announced.  Go to the Courses for 2015  page for further information and call 07788 871286 or email leedsartgroup@yahoo.co.uk if you’d like to book a place.
