Hi everyone

In week 3 of the “Flowers” Beginners Mixed Media Course we had a good hit of colour by using Derwent Inktense blocks to create these Pansy paintings. There’s definitely something a bit magical about how the colour goes on as a crayon and then you add water to turn it into paint. Thoroughly enjoyable! The task for the “Inspired 7” Online Beginners Art Course was quite the opposite. Creating these Egyptian style patterns was all about precision and accuracy, making sure the drawing was just right before adding the colour. A tricky one but you exceeded my expectations yet again. Fantastic work everyone, Well done.

No classes this week but classes will resume on Monday 31st October 🎃.

See you all soon.

Hi folks

This week in the “Flowers” Beginners Mixed Media Course we painted these wonderfully sunny and uplifting Rudbeckia flowers using watercolour. People often underestimate how difficult watercolour can be. It takes a fair bit of planning. So well done to all of you for creating such fantastic paintings. In the “Inspired 7” Online Beginners Art Course we were inspired by Paul Gauguin and his brightly coloured oil paintings. We used oil pastels instead which take a long time but are definitely worth the effort. Fabulous work everyone, keep it up!

Hi everyone

Great to be back getting arty with you all again both online and in person. The “Flowers” Beginners Mixed Media Course produced some fantastic soft pastel drawings of Peonies. Always good to get messy on day one! The “Inspired 7” Online Beginners Art Course looked at Raoul Dufy’s work to create these gorgeous, brightly coloured, watercolour paintings of a beach in Nice. A “Nice” reminder of sunny days as the weather starts to change. A brilliant start to the new term everyone! Well done.
