Welcome back everyone!

Hope you all had a good break and a great Christmas.  A warm welcome to all our new students this year aswell.  We started the brand new Beginners Birds Drawing Course with some scraperboard drawings of Starlings.  This meant sort of working in negative as you had to scrape away the lighter areas.  The Beginners Pastel Drawing Course worked from photos of Impressionist paintings to practise mark making and colour mixing.  The Beginners Portraiture Course – Level 1 started with the basic proportions of the head – the fundamentals for a good portrait.  Fantastic work everyone!  Hope you all enjoyed your first lesson and I’m looking forward to seeing what else you can do throughout the rest of the course.

See you all next week.
