Welcome to Day 18 of our London Art College Festive Art Challenge!<\/strong>
We are drawing closer to Christmas, and today we are sharing another seasonal artwork from one of our students. The artwork today is by illustration student Amanda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Here’s a submission for the snowy cottage prompt of the festive art challenge. I’ve just started the illustration course so I used this as an opportunity to review some of the unit 1 concepts, e.g. perspective, light\/shadow, texture, colour. It’s mixed media with pens, watercolour, and ink.
Thanks,\u00a0
Amanda\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
