Beginners Drawing from Nature Course – Lesson 4: Mussel shells.

Leave a comment

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.

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


See you next week.
