Beginners Animal Portraiture Course 3 – Lesson 6: Ring tailed lemur

This week was slightly different in that we produced several paintings from different photos. This wet on wet technique using black drawing ink could potentially leave you waiting for ink to dry. By having several pictures on the go at once there’s always something to do. Lovely lemurs everyone!

Next week a different animal in our final lesson of the course.

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

See you all next week.

Beginners Animal Portraiture Course 3 – Lesson 5: Frog

I loved this lesson folks! You created these fantastic frogs in watercolour this week. Watercolour is a difficult medium to master and some of you were using it for the first time ever. So I think you all did an amazing job. Wonderful stuff, keep it coming!

See you all next week.

Beginners Animal Portraiture Course 3 – Lesson 4: Bee

Another pretty messy, smudgy lesson but totally worth it for these fantastic bee drawings using soft pastel. Quite a tricky one this week – lots of layers to build up and lots of technique to master. It was great to see your confidence grow with this technique in just one lesson.

Great work folks! See you all next week.

Beginners Animal Portraiture Course 3 – Lesson 3: Lobster

Wow! Incredible work this week folks and you did it all with just some Indian ink and a stick. Yep, a “common or garden” stick (from my garden to be precise). I think this was a really difficult challenge to throw at you but I knew you could handle it. Well done everyone on all these lovely lobsters!

Beginners Animal Portraiture Course 3 – Lesson 2: Tiger

Only week 2 and you’re already producing fantastic pictures like this! We used biro and coloured pencil for these and a crosshatching technique to create the tone.

Brilliant work folks. Keep it up!

Beginners Animal Portraiture Course 3 – Lesson 1: Rhino

Great to see you all back in class this week. We kicked off the course with a mum & baby Rhinoceros. We used XL charcoal blocks to create these lovely drawings. A pretty messy medium to use but always worth it I think.
Well done everyone. A great start to the course!
See you soon
