This week we used black ball point pen and a scribble cross-hatching technique to create all the different tones in these drawings of toadstools. To add the colour element we used our watercolour pencils again but this time without the water, layering the colours on top of each other. These look fantastic! A very time consuming process, so I’m amazed at how much you managed to get done in the lesson. Brilliant work – well done!👏

Next week is the last lesson of the current course. News on the next courses coming soon

Yes, this week we conquered conkers (sorry, couldn’t resist🤭)! We used watercolour pencils to create these fab drawings. This technique does take quite a bit of time especially to build up the colours. So I think you all did really well with the time we had. Great work, keep it up!😁

This week we used Indian ink applied with a stick (yep, just from the garden) to create these inky, black, mussel shell drawings. A very tricky technique to get the hang of but a really interesting effect that you just don’t get with a brush. And the best bit – no brush to clean at the end! Well done to all of you for having a go at this technique, they look fab!

Next week, maybe something a little less messy.

Welcome back after the bank holiday everyone and always nice to start back with a good blast of colour. We used oil pastels to create all the vibrant colours in these leaves drawings. You managed to mix so many different colours from only a few pastels. Fabulous work folks – keep it up!👏
