We only had a small number of entries for this weekend’s challenge, as a technical issue meant the post did not go out on time. That said, the submissions we did receive are well worth sharing.
The first painting by student Ni Ni is a lovely autumn woodland scene, full of rich colour and warmth. There’s great use of texture in the trees and a real sense of depth in the path leading through the centre.
The second piece by Ozlem is a delicate watercolour of bellflowers. The colours are soft and natural and the background has a subtle painterly feel that suits the subject beautifully.
Finally, we had a video submission from Alicia which we hope that you can all view within our post below. Thank you Alicia!
Thank you to everyone who took part. We appreciate the effort and time that goes into every submission. A new weekend challenge will be posted tomorrow .. promise! So do check back in if you would like to join us.

The Chinese Bellflower played a role in Japanese myth and folklore. There, the flower is also known as kikyo, which means pentagram. The balloon flowers’ five-pointed blossoms stand for the five elements of the Tao, which include wood, water, fire, earth, and fire.

A short animated slideshow that I’ve posted on YouTube. It’s entitled “To Dream with Squirrels” with about 60 of my drawings set to music, telling a sort of story. For me it represents a real turning point, because music has always been a huge source of inspiration for me in my artwork, and this was the first time I’ve made an animation like this.
