This week the drawing class did a series of timed drawings to work on their speed and to help work out how to build up a drawing from just a quick sketch.  The pastel class worked on scale and produced some really vibrant drawings of enlarged everyday objects.  The watercolour class took advantage of all the beautiful Autumn leaves we have at the moment and produced some great paintings with loads of colour.  I can see real improvements in everyone’s work now.  Think back to week one and see for yourself how much you’ve improved.  Well done everyone!

See you next week.

We are already halfway through the courses now.  Well done for all the hard work you’ve put in so far.  This week the Drawing class enlarged images using a grid, the Pastel class looked at textures and the Watercolour class painted a country cottage scene.  You all did some fantastic work this week so be proud of yourselves.

See you next week.

It seems like Autumn arrived this week but thankfully you didn’t let the bad weather stop you from coming to class.  In the Drawing class we looked at scale and how to draw with charcoal and chalk, the Pastel class worked on how to use white effectively and in the watercolour class we experimented with different techniques for creating sky effects.  Well done everyone, I can see you are all making progress.

See you soon.
