Welcome to our results for our weekend art challenge on the alphabet theme. This week our letter was ‘K’ and our students came up with a number of ideas including a variety of kingfishers, Koi, kiwi fruit, kittens, koalas and kookaburras… and a King Henry VIII among others!!
Our favourite this week which is our feature image is by student Jo Ssl who says…. “K is a kid letter, always kicking a ball and keen to play in a kart or with a kite…” We absolutely love it, so many things beginning with the letter K encapsulated within one piece. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see it in full! Well done Jo!
We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge. Stay tuned for a new Weekend Art Challenge posted here tomorrow.
Abstract Koi Carp in Arcylic. Jane HudsonRosalind Spilling: coloured pencil. Yummy Kiwi fruit!K for Koala. The next exercise in my course (coloured pencils) was to do a colour wheel so I decided to combine it with the weekend challenge. It took longer than I hoped, but I enjoyed it. Clare O’NeillCute Koala Sharon WilliamsonK is for King Henry VIII LJ CollingbourneK is for The King Patti-Ann McNeillK is for Kookaburra, a keen one here waiting for food scraps outside my mother’s house. Unlike kingfishers they’re quite a dull brownish-grey. But I’ve always liked them. Julie SmalleyK for Kingfisher. Watercolour painting. One of my favourite birds. Claire CrossI suddenly realised that since I’m on the pet part of the chibi course I should attempt a chibi kitten. So here is said kitten doing what kittens do best – reaching her feet to lick them! Audrey QuintonK for beautiful koi fishes Latha Bhaduri PrabakarI’ve chosen a cuddly toy I have at home. A kangaroo and kola bear. I used children’s paint and dry watercolour pencils. For the fur I used the rough end of a scouring sponge Nina PhillipsK is for Kingfisher. Chinese brush and ink with gouache. Dinah BarkerThe letter K – this is Kathmandu, or at least the suburbs, with the Himalayas in the distance. It’s strange and sad how such a troublesome situation can have such a beautiful backdrop. This was a very quick oil sketch on board (A4). Norman Tharby

Pauline BurkeK-kayaking Watercolor Katalin Zele-KissGrown up Kittens above and below Rachel PesterfieldK is for knowledge. Whoever said ‘Dogs have owners, cats have staff.’ was absolutely right! Eve WarrenSarah DixonK for Koala Paolina RinaldiKylo Ren, son of darkness, heir apparent to Lord Vader … and my favorite Star Wars character. I drew the son of Leia and Han with pencil, colored pencils and fine liner. This is a drawing of an image of the Star Wars movie ‘The Force Awakens’.
