Since we have a couple of quiet afternoons, we thought we'd try our hands and experiment with water colours, the students have absolutely enjoyed the creative nature of watercolours.
As a final touch to the piece, we used charcoal to give our bird a soft outline, smudged and just looking beautiful. We have been doing lots of talk in class about what makes an artist; that is is a skill like any other subject. People aren't born good or bad at things, we just practise and take pleasure in learning and experimenting. I even took some of the student's art to a meeting today to show it off!
The sketching... learning some techniques online...
Blending...
Creating, not colouring in the lines!
