“Places 2” Lesson 6: Blackpool, England.

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!

“Places 2” Lesson 5: Angel of the North, Gateshead, England.

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!

“Places 2” Lesson 4: Taj Mahal, India.

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, Northumberland.

“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!
