The theme this week was to draw or paint anything on the theme of Japan. We didn&#8217;t realise how pretty the artwork would be, such beautiful pastel colours and some lovely painting techniques too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our feature image today has been created by student Audrey Quinton who is working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonartcollege.co.uk\/tutors\/monique-piscaer-bailey\/\">Monique<\/a> on the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonartcollege.co.uk\/art-courses\/chibi-character-creation-course\/\">Chibi Character Creation<\/a> course. The perfect combination &#8211; creating Chibi characters for our Japanese art challenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course there is always another side to every country and Japan is no exception. The picture below has been illustrated by Maya Hatsukano who has first hand experienced. View her pen and ink drawing and read Maya&#8217;s text to go along side.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge.
