Hi everyone

For our final lesson in the Beginners Birds Drawing Course we painted these glorious goldfinches using Derwent Inktense Blocks. Quite a difficult medium to master I think but a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who has attended this term and well done on producing such great work every week no matter what challenges I threw at you.

Hi folks

Welcome back after our little break.

This week we tried something a bit different and did some timed drawings of Blue Tits ranging from 15 minutes to 30 seconds, followed by a longer drawing. This helps to train us into making quick decisions about the most important aspects of the drawing. Soft pastel was perfect for making quick marks and smudges of colour. Great work everyone! Well done.

See you next week

Hi everyone

This week we drew these beautiful bullfinches using oil pastel. We focused a lot on colour mixing especially in the background and the grey feathers of the bird, only using black where we really needed it. Great work everyone!

We have a week off next week for the bank holiday but I’ll see you back in class on Monday 13th May.

Cheerio!
