Hi folks

This week it was the Heron’s turn to be our subject. We all got very messy with bits of magazine collage and glue. Worth all the mess though as it’s a really effective technique and quite engrossing to do. If we’d had a bit more time we could have added some more detail and tone with black biro. You can always finish them later at home. Hope you all enjoyed it.

A much less messy technique next week but lots of colour!

Hi everyone

There are few British birds that allow use to use such bright blues when drawing them. So big thanks to the Kingfishers for letting us use our blues and oranges! We used soft pastels to create these vibrant colours. A very smudgy, messy process but definitely worth it for such great effects. Keep up the good work everyone. More mess next week!

Hi folks

Great to be back in class after our little break and a brilliant start to this term’s course. We began the course with Starlings and used holographic scraper board. We scratched through to reveal the colours underneath to suggest the iridescent feathers of the bird – and don’t they look fabulous! A great start to the course everyone, well done.
