Weekend Art Challenge – Something I can’t live without!

We set our students the task of creating artwork around the theme of ‘Something that they can’t live without’. We have received some amazing pieces of artwork this week. Our featured image is by student Jo Oules. We love the illustrative style, the expressive marks and extremely well drawn crabs. Thumbs up from us Jo!

Vera’s Jaouadi’s beautiful garden drawing below reminds us of a very colourful stain glass window. We love it, along with Eve Warren’s amazing cartoon about oxygen. Such a naughty cat!!

Everyone did so well and we quite often say that each week and month that goes by, our regular students who take part in our challenges, really do improve. They not only improve in terms of technique but improve on their creativity and ideas too. There is nothing like thinking outside of the box for these challenges and it really keeps the grey matter ticking over. Well done to everyone who takes part each week. Give yourselves a pat on the back!!

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

There are so many things I can’t live without!
To begin with my health, my family, my friends, my cat, my colors and my brushes, my books, the card games with my neighbors, my first coffee in the morning, and … and … and …. my garden! (felt tip pens)

I can’t live without nature, without our garden and without my English roses. Here is a photo I took of David Austin’s “Constance Spry” which has just started to flower in the garden.

Grandma Viv and Maureen the cat in their Dutch barge home (can you spot 2 mice and a fairy?) watercolour and pen. (Ps Dr Grandma Viv has worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic keeping other people afloat with their mental health! good to see her taking taking a break with Maureen, she’s awesome)

I’ve chosen something for this weekend challenge that none of us can live without, drawn in pencil on watercolour paper with a little touch of polychromos coloured pencil. Measuring just 2.5 x3.5 inches a cross section of a heart.

Weekend Challenge: Something You Can’t Live Without. Well, I can’t live without that old dating ad stalwart – a VGSOH. I hope these comic beans illustrate how laughing is great medicine. I had fun doing it, naturally.
