This week for our art challenge we asked our students to draw or paint wildflowers and they didn\u2019t disappoint. From bold poppies and cheerful daisies to delicate foxgloves and intricate plant studies, the results were full of colour, variety and personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some artists chose to work loosely, capturing the overall feel of a meadow or hedgerow, while others focused on fine detail and careful observation. Each piece shows a real appreciation for the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to everyone who took part this week. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing your wildflower artwork. A new weekend challenge will be posted tomorrow, we hope you join us again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a page from my sketchbook for this week\u2019s challenge. I have drawn these foxgloves directly from life. I found a few interesting facts about foxgloves, the most interesting to me was that they may be responsible for Van Gogh using so much yellow in his later paintings. Also, William Withering, who discovered the benefits of using digitalis in medicine lived very close to where I live now.

There are more than 400 species of geranium, with many cultivated varieties, but they also grow wild pretty much everywhere and are also known as cranesbill. This one has established itself in our back garden.

Bottlebrush with soft pastels and pastel pencils. I was thinking of doing something Australasian and remembering I walked pass bottlebrush trees. They don\u2019t have many flowers at the moment as it is southern hemisphere winter. Bottlebrush is Australian native. Still have one flower in the tree near my place.
