Hi everyone

For the final lesson in the “Inspired 8” Online Beginners Art Course we focused on the beautiful work of contemporary textile artist Josie Russell. We used watercolour pencils and collage to create our own versions of her patchwork pictures. Fantastic work everyone! Wonderful variations of colour, tone and pattern. What a great finish to the course!

I’ll be in touch as soon as possible with news of any future courses so watch this space!

Cheerio for now!

Hi folks

This week in the “Inspired 8” Online Beginners Art Course we looked at the work of contemporary artist Anders Olov Forss. The bold colours are perfect for oil pastels and you’ve created some amazing drawings. Brilliant work! Well done.

Hi everyone

This week in the “Inspired 8” Online Beginners Art Course we were inspired by a woodcut print by Japanese artist Ohara Koson called “Robin on a Maple Branch” c.1935. We used watercolour paint and a limited colour palette to explore how to create a range of different tones and effects just by varying the amount of water added to the paint wash. You all did a fantastic job. Beautiful pictures, great work everyone!

Hi folks

This week in the “Inspired 8” Online Beginners Art Course we looked to impressionist artist Edouard Manet to inspire us with his still life of roses. You produced these beautiful soft pastel drawings focusing on all the contrasting tones within the vase. Well done everyone!
