Well, what a hoot we had this week painting these owls!🦉😁We first prepared the background using acrylic paint then worked over the top with black and white Derwent Inktense blocks and using gouache paint for the eyes. I think you all did a great job. Well done!

Next week, something different.

This week we went nutty for Nuthatches! 🌰🐣These gorgeous little birds are perfect for practising colour mixing with their bluish and orange-ish colours. We used watercolour pencils to create these gorgeous paintings. Keep doing what you’re doing folks. I’m so pleased with the progress you’re all making! Fantastic work, well done!👏

Cor! What a lot of lovely crows! A “murder” of crows to be precise. This week we used charcoal to create these expressive drawings. We produced timed drawings, gradually reducing the time per drawing from 20 minutes to 5 minutes. These exercises help you to focus quickly on the key elements of the image. A difficult task but you all did a great job. Well done.

Next week maybe something slightly less messy.😁

Time for a blast of colour and this male Mandarin ducks’ feathers gave us the perfect opportunity to use all those bold colours. We used soft pastel for these drawings which is great for really vibrant colours. Beautiful work everyone! Hope you all enjoyed it.
