We began our Summer Term by exploring different water textures using watercolour pencils. From calm reflections to rippling and disturbed surfaces the project focused on close observation and mark making. Our new students learned about a wide range of pencil techniques such as tonal values, setting a ground, ellipses and how to get proportions right with sighting. They then drew a 3D cup and saucer from life.

From Day Trip scenes to Pointillist Fields of Gold here is a selection of the super art work produced in the Oil Pastel Module. Well done everyone!

More Wild Warthogs have appeared out of the grassland and savanna!

On our last week of the drawing module our returning students inspired by the energetic and characterful style of Catherine Rayner drew a wiry warthog using coloured pencils in a loose and scribbly way. Our beginner students learnt all about Portraiture, Figure Drawing and dimensions and put those new learned skills in producing some great face portraits.

Week 2 and our project this week for the Returning Students was a tranquil setting of past times featuring an old watermill. Our Beginner Students learnt about the different types of perspective and how to scale an image using the grid method. Well done everyone these look great!

Shipshape and Bristol Fashion! Returning Students started our Spring Course drawing stylish travel posters using coloured pencil inspired by the work of AM Cassandre. Some great examples here of the dramatic composition of a mid century cruise liners with Art Deco shapes and stylised perspective. Our New Students learned about pencil techniques such as setting a ground ,tonal values, ellipses and how to get proportions right with sighting. They then drew a 3D cup and saucer from life. Great work everyone!
