Welcome to our last weekend challenge of September! As we are heading into autumn here in the UK, we thought it would be great to challenge our students to create artwork on the theme of toadstools.

If you can get out and about in your local woodland to find some to photograph and draw, thats great! If not we have added lots of photos below for you to use.

Of course you can come up with your own ideas for this theme. We are leaving it open for you to interpret and be creative with it.

We can envisage some of you will be creating artwork in colour and it might be nice to try to maintain the earthy tones using a limited pallet to convey a damp, musty toadstool feeling in your artwork.

Alternatively, you might like to create a lovely bright illustration with rich red Flyagarics and fairies peeking around the base!

Whatever you choose to create, let us know how you got on, what materials you used along with your inspirations! Have fun with it and we look forward to seeing your results soon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For those who are new to our challenges, we post them every Friday, so that students have a chance to pick up their pencils, pens, brushes or tablets to create artwork in their downtime over the weekend.

The results are the posted here on our blog on the following Thursday.

We love it when students add text to go along side the artwork, we will always post it on the blog if included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
