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!

See you all soon

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

I know it might seem like a strange subject for these works of art but Lawnswood Cemetery in north Leeds has some amazing gravestones to rival any sculpture park in my opinion. This week we used a background covered in emulsion paint with black and white oil pastel over the top to create the highlights and shadows. Fabulous work from you all once again! Well done everyone and thank you so much for absolutely giving it your all this term and producing such brilliant pictures. It’s been a pleasure to see.
This week was the final lesson in the Places 2 course and now we’ll be taking a break over Christmas but courses will be returning in January and full details can be found on the “Courses for 2025” page.

I know it doesn’t look much like Blackpool but these gorgeous watercolour paintings are studies of decorative wall tiles in the foyer of Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Sadly we weren’t able to take a class trip there as Strictly have it booked out this week. So we just worked from photos instead.😉
Beautiful work everyone! Keeeep painting!
Next week is the last lesson of the current courses but more info on courses for 2025 coming soon!

Wow everyone! You really blew me away this week with your fantastic charcoal drawings of Antony Gormley’s sculpture in Gateshead. I think this was a really tough one but you all rose to the challenge once again. Thank you all for always putting in the hard work – it pays off!

This week we created these intricate drawings of this incredible building using biro on a prepared inked background. Lots of impact in the colour and then really subtle details in the drawing. Beautiful pictures folks! You’re all producing some brilliant work in this course. Well done!
We have a week off now but we’ll be back in the classroom again on 4th November with something completely different!

“Places 2” Lesson 3 – Bamburgh.
This week we used charcoal pencil and chalk to create these entwined drawings of a carved stone throne at Bamburgh castle, Northumberland. If you look closely you can see they include the “Beast of Bamburgh”. A mythical creature said to terrorise the villagers in days gone by.
A pretty tricky task this week and you all had to really concentrate to observe the shapes and proportions of all those twisty, turny knots. Brilliant work everyone. You did great!

“Places 2” Lessons 2: Brisbane.
This week we drew from a photo of a very small section of the Brisbane Peace Pagoda in Australia. The carved wooden panelling gave us lots of opportunity to explore different tones with oil pastels and we invented our own colour schemes as we went along.
Aren’t these fab?! Very organic looking and beautiful colours. Well done everyone. Next week – somewhere completely different.

Welcome back everyone! We kicked off the course with these striking paintings using watercolour pencil. The image we studied was a photograph taken of the Sri Krishnan Temple in little India in Singapore. This very small section was part of a statue of the Hindu god Hanuman.
Well done everyone! It was great to have you all back in the classroom and on my screen (those of you doing the Zoom course).
