Hi folks

This week in the “Flowers” Beginners Mixed Media Course we created these beautiful paintings of Plumeria flowers using watercolour pencils. The pencils can be used lightly for soft pastel tones but also with more pressure for intense areas of colour. Fantastic work everyone!

Below are some of this week’s pictures and you can see more on our Instagram page at: @leedsartgroup.

There also some live online Draw Alongs coming up in December. Full details can be found on the Courses for 2022 page. Please get in touch if you would like to book a place, by email: leedsartgroup@yahoo.co.uk or tel: 07788 871286.

See you all next week.

Hi everyone

This week the “Flowers” Beginners Mixed Media Course used charcoal to create these wonderfully dramatic drawings of roses. Turns out roses are pretty tricky to draw but it just goes to show what you can achieve when you push yourself just a little bit further. I’m so proud of you all for your perseverance!

For the final lesson in the “Inspired 7” Online Beginners Art Course we looked at the work of contemporary Dutch artist Ans Debije. It’s always good to remind ourselves that art is still being produced now and not just something from the past. Ans specialises in small still life objects often with reflective surfaces. Beautiful work everyone!

The “Inspired” online courses will return in January 2023. Details to follow soon!

Hi folks

This week in the “Flowers” Beginners Mixed Media Course we took some time to get back to basics and really focus on drawing skills. These coloured pencil drawings were perfect for practising observation, accuracy and precision.

The “Inspired 7” Online Beginners Art Course looked at a selection of Japanese, 19th century, woodblock prints by artist Kono Bairei and produced their own versions in watercolour.

Such beautiful, delicate drawings from both classes this week. Well done everyone.
