“Places 2” Lesson 4: Taj Mahal, India.

This week we created these intricate drawings of this incredible building using biro on a prepared inked background. Lots of impact in the colour and then really subtle details in the drawing. Beautiful pictures folks! You’re all producing some brilliant work in this course. Well done!


We have a week off now but we’ll be back in the classroom again on 4th November with something completely different!

“Places 2” Lesson 3: Bamburgh, Northumberland.

“Places 2” Lesson 3 – Bamburgh.
This week we used charcoal pencil and chalk to create these entwined drawings of a carved stone throne at Bamburgh castle, Northumberland. If you look closely you can see they include the “Beast of Bamburgh”. A mythical creature said to terrorise the villagers in days gone by.

A pretty tricky task this week and you all had to really concentrate to observe the shapes and proportions of all those twisty, turny knots. Brilliant work everyone. You did great!

“Places 2” Lesson 2: Brisbane, Australia.

“Places 2” Lessons 2: Brisbane.
This week we drew from a photo of a very small section of the Brisbane Peace Pagoda in Australia. The carved wooden panelling gave us lots of opportunity to explore different tones with oil pastels and we invented our own colour schemes as we went along.

Aren’t these fab?! Very organic looking and beautiful colours. Well done everyone. Next week – somewhere completely different.

“Places 2” Lesson 1: Singapore.

Welcome back everyone! We kicked off the course with these striking paintings using watercolour pencil. The image we studied was a photograph taken of the Sri Krishnan Temple in little India in Singapore. This very small section was part of a statue of the Hindu god Hanuman.

Well done everyone! It was great to have you all back in the classroom and on my screen (those of you doing the Zoom course).
