Hi folks

It was the last week of lessons for this term and we finished in a blaze of colour in the Beginners Drawing from Nature Course with drawings of blackberries using inktense blocks.  The Beginners Animal Portraiture Course 2 used the same medium to create beautiful drawings of peacocks.  The Beginners Drawing Course 1 faced the ultimate challenge of drawing the human figure but what fantastic progress you all made just in the space of one lesson.  Big thanks to our model Nicoletta.  Brilliant work everyone and thank you for all your help and enthusiasm of the past few weeks.  It’s been a pleasure to teach you and I hope to see you all soon at future Leeds Art Group courses.

Hi everyone

This week the Nature course created these fantastic drawings of toadstools using black biro and cross hatching techniques to create different tones.  Coloured pencil was then used to add some colour.  The Drawing course had to do the dreaded self-portrait this week but I think most of you were pleasantly surprised at what a good likeness you achieved, well done.  The Animal course made dramatic ink drawings of a leopard using dip pens and a poster paint pen to add white highlights.

The courses for next term (starting 16th April 2018) are filling up fast.  So if you want to book a place, please get in touch as soon as possible and remember, places cannot be reserved without payment.  Full course details can be viewed on the “Courses for 2018” page.  Please contact me if you require any further information or if you would like to book a place.  Contact me on tel: 07788 871286 or email me at: leedsartgroup@yahoo.co.uk.

Look forward to seeing you all next week (which will sadly be the last lesson of the courses).
