Hi folks

Wow! This week the “Flowers 2 Beginners Mixed Media Course” really pulled out all the stops for these amazing paintings of Crocosmia flowers using Derwent Inktense blocks. We used everything we’ve learned so far about proportion, tone, scale and colour mixing. Fantastic work everyone! All your hard work is really paying off.

Hi folks

Building on the work we did last week on tone, the “Flowers 2 Beginners Mixed Media Course” used charcoal pencil this time along with white chalk for the highlights. The tonal drawings of Delphiniums looked fantastic against the coloured background. Great work, keep it up!

Hi everyone

This week in the “Flowers 2 Beginners Mixed Media Course” we explored how to create different tones on light and dark backgrounds using both light and dark media – chalk and charcoal. It was really tricky to get our heads around working in negative on the dark paper. Well done everyone. In the “Inspired 4 – Online Beginners Art Course” we looked at Art Deco artist Tamara de Lempicka. Tone also plays a huge part in her work. Fantastic work everyone.

Hi folks

It was great to get back in the classroom this week and why not start off with lots of pink!? In the “Flowers 2 Beginners Mixed Media Course” we painted these beautiful Dahlias using watercolour paint. In the “Inspired 4 – Online Beginners Art Course” we looked at the work of Auguste Renoir. Both courses had to do a lot of colour mixing in different ways. A brilliant start to the course, well done everyone!
