Beginners Birds Drawing Course 2 – Lesson 7: Puffin.

Our final lesson of this course was Puffin perfection! We used watercolour to create this colony of lovely paintings. Watercolour can be a really tricky medium to master and you all did brilliantly in the short amount of time we had on this. Watch this space for a new watercolour course coming in the new year.

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

Thank you for all your hard work over the past 7 weeks. Hope you’ve all enjoyed it.

Hope to see you all in 2026!

Cheerio for now.

Beginners Birds Drawing Course 2 – Lesson 6: Blackbird.

So how do we paint a blackbird on black paper? We fill the rest of the paper with colour of course! We used watercolour paint to create the patterns in the background and added white gouache paint to each colour to make it more opaque so that it stands out against the black. We all chilled out and got a bit zen painting these patterns. Sometimes it’s nice to just go with the flow and paint whatever comes to you.😁

One more week to go in this course.

See you all soon
