“Places 2” Lesson 7: Lawnswood Cemetery, Leeds.

I know it might seem like a strange subject for these works of art but Lawnswood Cemetery in north Leeds has some amazing gravestones to rival any sculpture park in my opinion. This week we used a background covered in emulsion paint with black and white oil pastel over the top to create the highlights and shadows. Fabulous work from you all once again! Well done everyone and thank you so much for absolutely giving it your all this term and producing such brilliant pictures. It’s been a pleasure to see.

This week was the final lesson in the Places 2 course and now we’ll be taking a break over Christmas but courses will be returning in January and full details can be found on the “Courses for 2025” page.

“Places 2” Lesson 6: Blackpool, England.

I know it doesn’t look much like Blackpool but these gorgeous watercolour paintings are studies of decorative wall tiles in the foyer of Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Sadly we weren’t able to take a class trip there as Strictly have it booked out this week. So we just worked from photos instead.😉
Beautiful work everyone! Keeeep painting!

Next week is the last lesson of the current courses but more info on courses for 2025 coming soon!

“Places 2” Lesson 5: Angel of the North, Gateshead, England.

Wow everyone! You really blew me away this week with your fantastic charcoal drawings of Antony Gormley’s sculpture in Gateshead. I think this was a really tough one but you all rose to the challenge once again. Thank you all for always putting in the hard work – it pays off!
