Hi folks

This week was our final lesson in the “Animal 2” Beginners Mixed Media Course and we finished in flamboyant style with these magnificent peacock paintings! We used Derwent Inktense Blocks for the main painting with some charcoal pencil for the details. What a great way to finish the course. Thanks for all your fantastic artwork this term. More classes coming soon!

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

Bye for now

Hi everyone

Lovely leopards were our subject this week in the “Animal 2” Beginners Mixed Media Course. We used a prepared paper painted with an acrylic wash to create the colour element of the picture. Then used black drawing ink with a dip pen and white Posca pen to add the tone. Such a gorgeous animal and you all did it justice. Well done!

Hi everyone

In the “Animal 2” Beginners Mixed Media Course we drew these beautiful peacock butterflies using soft pastel. A very messy medium but you can create some lovely colourful effects. In the final lesson of the “Inspired 2” online course we looked at the work of Edgar Degas, also using soft pastel and focusing on subtle colour mixing. In the “Pencil & Paper 3” online drawing course we used everything we’ve learned so far in the course and drew it all in one box. Brilliant work everyone, well done! Shame this is the last week of the online courses for now but more coming soon!

See you soon
