Weekend Art Challenge

Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge where we set our students the task of painting with watercolour. They could paint any subject or object, just as long as they splashed paint on paper and had fun. We have received some amazing paintings which you can check out below.

Our featured image this week is by student Debbie Davidge and we felt it was the perfect example of a well balance composition, use of fresh watercolour in a landscape setting. Debbie said….

‘Over the Hills and Far Away’
A bit of doodling with a mixtures of blues, greens, purples and yellow ochre. This was the result and it reminded me of distant hills.

Well done to everyone who took part this week, we hope to see you back for the next challenge!

We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge. Stay tuned for a new Weekend Art Challenge posted here tomorrow.

I have painted some watermelon with juice to try out the watercolour challenge which I always find tricky and was glad of the idea to try to keep colours clean and fresh!

Forgotten
Living in a rural area, you can come across some interesting things and this piece of old farm machinery on my neighbours field just stood out. I used, Daniel Smith watercolours, SAA watercolours and Beam paints. They all work together really well.

Watercolours, it said. So I thought ‘sea’ …and a lonely lighthouse appeared. How I miss coastal scenes! A quick sketch, but an illuminating one.
