Hi folks

In the “Beginners Portraiture Course 1” this week we looked at not 1 but 2 different aspects of portraiture – ears and hair. Just like noses, drawing ears is largely about tone and carefully observing all those wavy lines. Hair gave us another tonal challenge where we had to observe tone rather than colour and really try to see how the light falls on the hair. A difficult task but you did great!

The “Inspired 9” Online Beginners Art Course looked at Canada based artist Rob Buchanan this week and his artwork “Mona Skisa”. Rob recreates famous artworks using recycled skis and snowboards. Most of us don’t have those materials to hand so we used watercolour and collage instead with some really effective results. Well done everyone!

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

See you soon
